About Priority One

Priority One is a leader in Internet electronic payment technology. Since its inception in 1995, Priority One has been providing Internet retailers the ability to process payments from customers through either credit card or automatic debit from the customer's bank account.

The Priority One system, known as Bill Collect(tm), is designed to alleviate the problem of sending out invoices, waiting for returned checks, and collecting accounts receivable when due. The Bill Collect system can be fully integrated with the Internet retailer's software, so that information on credit card charges and EFT authorizations can be combined in the same batch transaction and uploaded directly and simultaneously to Priority One, through phone lines or the Internet, without any additional data entry.
