How It Works

Making and receiving online payments couldn't be easier! There are only three simple steps:

Step 1: Sender makes a payment

Click on a payment button or the " Send Money " feature. Pay by e-wallet, which can be funded by bank account or check (no personal checks or cash), or pay by credit card.

Step 2: Payment is processed

AlertPay processes the payment in real-time, transferring the money to the receiver's account. A confirmation email is sent to both parties.

Step 3: Receiver gets paid

The money is instantly available in the receiver's AlertPay account, which can be withdrawn by bank account, credit/debit card or check.
