Papaya Pay

Papaya Payments is a Los Angeles based fintech that operates a mobile-first digital billing and bill-pay platform. Businesses in healthcare, government and municipalities, utilities, insurance, field services, and debt collection use Papaya to let their customers pay bills by photographing a paper statement or scanning a QR code and paying over SMS, email, or the Papaya iOS and Android apps, with no account or login required. Papaya advertises a Quickpay embeddable payment widget for paper-statement and portal integrations, and states that more than 2.5 million Americans have used the service. The company markets PCI, HIPAA, and SOC2 compliance. As of this profile Papaya publishes no public developer portal, API documentation, or API specification; it is a consumer-facing payments product rather than a developer platform.
