Kaizen Communications Partners with Billing Tree for Mobile Payments

November 18, 2010 by Mobile Payment Magazine

Kaizen Communications, a mobile tech firm specializing in mobile payments, distribution of mobile content and mobile campaign management, has announced a partnership on-demand payment processor, Billing Tree. Kaizen was recently acquired by Sunset Brands, Inc.

Billing Tree offers a suite of payment solutions ranging from web payments to check conversions, and is currently processing over 3.4 million transactions per month. The company provides every available option for accepting payments without the need for additional software.

Kaizen’s mobile payment and billing reminder software, Kpay, currently allows customers the ability to pay bills, send and receive funds, and execute point of sale transactions from any mobile phone.

“Integrating with Billing Tree will enable Kaizen to bring mobile bill presentment and payments to a mass audience, allowing simplified mobile payments to become a reality for customers using their SMS enabled mobile device,” says Kaizen’s CTO, Curtis Keith.

Sunset Brand’s U.S. Financial Assets CEO, J. Bert Watson, Sr., adds, “This is a major breakthrough for USFA. Our comprehensive payment solution is patent pending and part of a payment revolution that offers users a more convenient option to pay over traditional methods. Kaizen is currently in negotiations and expecting to sign this week other third party billers which will represent over 15 million bills per month. The impact this has on revenues for USFA moving forward is tremendous.”

US Financial Assets, Inc. is a Financial Services firm with a focus on the strategic acquisition and investment in federally insured banks, mortgage companies, SBA, insurance, mortgage title companies, management and capital consultative services, REIT and distressed real estate holdings primarily in the Southeast Region of the U.S.A. The firm recently acquired Kaizen Communications, implementing several applications within a nationwide launch of mobile payment solutions.
