NEW! Payment Feature for Vet Practices
Pawtal is an online claims platform for vets, designed to make claims easier and quicker. Plus, Pawtal now hosts a new monthly payment feature.
Helping your practice go further for pets in need!
To further support your patients’ needs, a brand-new payment feature has been introduced to the claims platform, Pawtal. This online and easy-to-use feature, provided by a third-party lender, could help your clients pay for vital treatment and care when it is needed most.
Once onboarded, you’ll be able to discuss this new alternative payment solution with your clients.
Working with a third-party lender, the new payment solution could…
Benefit your clients:
- Pets that might have gone untreated could now get the support they need.
- The payment feature could help your eligible clients with an interest free option to spread the cost of treatment (up to £2,000)
- With optional repayment terms of 3,6,8,9 or 10 months.
Benefit your practice:
- All successful applications will be paid directly to your vet practice within 10 working days, reducing the volume of unpaid treatment bills.
- Your veterinary surgery or team are NOT required to become accredited finance experts or licensed.
- The third-party lender will provide you with the relevant training so your team can talk with your clients about this payment option.
- No hidden charges including no annual fees, licence or set up costs. A subsidy fee per loan applies.
- Your practice can focus more on supporting the owner and the pet, not on the paperwork and administration.
Please note: Acceptance onto the payment scheme is decided by the third-party lender based on their eligibility criteria.
