AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AffiniPay, the technology behind the payment solutions LawPay, CPACharge, AffiniPay for Associations and DesignPay, is launching contactless payment solutions for all BQE Software clients. This integration will allow BQE CORE clients to shift their acceptance of payments digitally, seamlessly processing their debit, credit and ACH/eCheck transactions. BQE is the leader in billing and project account software for the architectural and engineering industry with growing practices within accounting and legal.

Consumer preferences are to pay by credit card, and online invoices are frequently paid within 24 hours. This rapid access to funding is critical for professionals that are seeing an increased volume of unpaid bills from clients. BQE CORE’s business management software focuses on bringing features like online payments to its more than 400,000 users to continue to accelerate their productivity and profitability. Professionals use BQE CORE for time tracking, billing, project management, accounting and human resources functions.

“We at BQE strive to bring automation and simplify the lives of millions of professionals. Our partnership with AffiniPay allows us to improve the way our customers get paid by their clients, which is especially important in today’s environment where accepting payments remotely is not optional anymore,” said BQE CEO and Founder Shafat Qazi.

With this new integration, BQE CORE users will have access to a more streamlined payment management solution. Additional benefits include:

• Convenient payment options through online credit, debit card and eCheck/ACH processing
• Ease of invoicing with custom payment links to add to emails and websites
• Access to payment plan options through scheduled payments
• Speed of invoicing through Quick Bills generated in seconds
• Compliance and security with advanced data protection and technology standards

“AffiniPay and BQE share the same philosophy that payments and practice management software have to be designed exclusively for professionals. When a single transaction ranges in the tens of thousands of dollars, professionals need software that is designed to be secure and responsive to keep their revenue running smoothly,” said AffiniPay CEO Tom West. “We found a great partnership with BQE as we both designed our software to uniquely serve professionals from day one.”
