Payscout expands Roydan integration for Bloodhound payments

Payscout and Roydan have expanded their partnership to add secure credit card and ACH processing, plus Payscout’s 360° Fee-Free Payments Program, to Roydan’s Bloodhound platform. The update is aimed at accounts receivable management organizations that want lower costs, simpler operations and a smoother consumer payment experience.

Why it matters: - The expanded integration gives accounts receivable management organizations one payments setup for card and ACH acceptance, fee-free payment options and compliance support. - Consolidating those functions can reduce reconciliation work for staff and lower processing costs. - The Bloodhound platform update is designed to improve the consumer payment experience by adding more flexible payment choices.

What happened: - Payscout announced an enhanced integration with longtime technology partner Roydan on September 8, 2026. - The update expands payment capabilities for organizations using Roydan’s Bloodhound® platform. - Roydan enhanced its connection to Payscout’s Paywire Gateway. - The Bloodhound platform now supports secure credit card and ACH payment processing. - The Bloodhound platform is now compatible with Payscout’s 360° Fee-Free Payments Program.

The details: - Payscout is an integrated payments provider and certified Minority Business Enterprise. - Roydan has used Payscout’s integrated payment processing infrastructure for years as a technical foundation for the Bloodhound platform. - The companies said the expanded integration is intended to give organizations greater flexibility in how they accept payments. - The setup brings multiple payment methods into one secure, integrated payments platform. - The platform is positioned for organizations in the accounts receivable management industry. - The companies said the integration can help businesses reduce administrative complexity by consolidating payment acceptance into a single system. - The integration can also help organizations maintain compliance with applicable payment regulations and card brand requirements. - Payscout’s Paywire platform serves vertical-specific industries including accounts receivable management, healthcare, education and enterprise merchants. - Payscout said its merchant banking services focus heavily on online and ecommerce solutions and card-not-present transactions. - Roydan is an employee-owned technology company founded in 1980. - Roydan has built software for the collections industry for more than 45 years. - Roydan’s products include collections management software, customer communication tools, self-service tools, reporting capabilities and integrations. - Roydan operates the Bloodhound® and NexTask® platforms and an open integration ecosystem.

Between the lines: - The partnership extension shows both companies leaning into embedded payments as a way to make collections workflows less fragmented. - The fee-free program is likely a competitive lever for ARM organizations that are under pressure to cut payment costs without reducing consumer convenience. - The announcement also reinforces Payscout’s positioning in regulated, vertical-specific payment processing rather than general-purpose payments. - Roydan benefits by adding more payment flexibility while keeping the same core platform experience for clients.

What's next: - Payscout and Roydan said they will continue advancing integrated payment solutions for the accounts receivable management industry. - The companies said they will focus on technology that improves efficiency, user experience and long-term growth. - Roydan will continue to support organizations through Bloodhound®, NexTask® and its open integration ecosystem.

The bottom line: - The expanded Payscout-Roydan partnership turns Bloodhound into a more complete payments hub for ARM firms, with fewer moving parts and more options for consumers.
