Late payments don’t just slow cash flow, they create risk, uncertainty and unnecessary work for finance teams.
AutoPay, a new feature within CreditorWatch Collect, helps accounts receivable teams get paid faster by automating recurring direct debit payments for overdue invoices without damaging customer relationships.
AutoPay enables customers to securely authorise recurring direct debit arrangements, allowing payments to be collected automatically once an invoice becomes overdue.
Instead of repeated follow‑ups and manual intervention, payments happen in the background, giving AR teams more control, less friction and better outcomes.
AutoPay builds on Collect’s existing pay now functionality, which already supports secure payment links via email and SMS. Together, they simplify how businesses get paid and reduce the effort required to manage receivables.

It works alongside Collect’s existing email and SMS payment links, so you can offer both instant payment and automated follow-up in one workflow.
You can get started with Collect quickly, with onboarding designed to fit around your existing processes.

It helps you stay consistent, professional and relationship-safe, even as your ledger grows.
Collect is not a collections tool – it’s an accounts receivable automation and intelligence platform. That means:
AutoPay is one part of that system – helping remove friction from getting paid once action is needed.
Yes. Collect is designed to fit into your existing workflows, not replace them. It integrates payments, communications and receivables activity into a single platform, so you don’t need to manage multiple tools or disconnected processes.
The goal is to standardise and simplify, not disrupt how your team already works.
AutoPay is built for mid-market and enterprise organisations managing large or complex ledgers. It’s particularly valuable if:
