AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Sept. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-Asianet/ --

- Openpay now seamlessly integrates with ezyVet. Pet parents can have interest 
free payment plans approved within 90 seconds to ensure their pets get the care 
they need.

Thanks to a new partnership between 'Buy Now Pay Later' (BNPL) payment provider 
Openpay(https://www.openpay.com.au/) (ASX: OPY), and veterinary software 
provider ezyVet(https://www.openpay.com.au/), pet owners can now spread the 
cost of their vet bill interest-free over time, with the vet practice getting 
paid in full immediately. Vet practices can generate more business and no 
longer need to juggle the patient's needs, the pet owner's pocketbook, or their 
conscience.

ezyVet is a well-established and innovative cloud-based practice management 
software used by vet practices globally, with considerable market penetration 
throughout Asia-Pacific. Openpay was established in Australia in 2013 as a 
payment technology company.

to treatment supports both Vets, and most importantly their patients. ezyVet is 
a leader in the veterinary software industry and we are proud to announce this 
partnership."

The integration between ezyVet and Openpay enables pet owners to sign up and be 
approved for credit within 90 seconds. A new plan is processed in the practice 
via the customers Openpay app or web portal. Openpay guarantees payment to the 
practice the next business day, and the pet owner pays off the remaining 
installments to Openpay over the selected payment term. 

According to ezyVet CFO Pete Brown, "when it comes to healthcare and economics, 
timing is everything. If your dog gets sick you need money fast. This 
partnership supports our company philosophy. Let the Vets do their job and 
leave the admin to ezyVet".

Abby Cotton, Practice Manager at Greenhills Veterinary Hospitals has 
successfully piloted the integration. "We have been able to treat more patients 
in the clinic as we have provided a fast and more streamlined financial support 
service for our clients. The integration allows us to provide a payment plan 
for our clients that supports both them and our clinic, without having to carry 
the burden of debt collecting."
