Home care agencies bill families for visits each week or month and pay a team of carers. Families often pay privately, alongside any funding from local services. A payments app built for the sector, under your own brand, can make billing and paying simpler, and you can offer it to agencies across a region.

What care agencies need

  • Clear monthly invoices for families paying privately.
  • Regular payments set up as subscriptions.
  • Transfers to pay carers on time.
  • An account that shows money in and out in one place.

Things to keep in mind

Families may be paying for a parent or relative, so clear invoices and simple ways to pay matter. Your app handles the payments; the care itself stays with the agency.
