Judopay and MedPoint to enhance collection and payment of prescriptions

By Megha Bhattacharya

Judopay, a mobile-centric and fully cloud-based payments provider, announced its partnership with MedPoint, an automated prescription collection system, to enable a quick and secure method for patients to purchase and collect their prescriptions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Richard Morgan-Green, Sales Director at MedPoint, added, “We chose to partner with Judopay as our partner for our 24/7 Prescription Collection Points because it was the best, most seamless digital payment solution on the market. Although we completed our due diligence on the market, Judopay really understood what we were looking to achieve for our customers. They are a great company and team to work with and they really understand what their customers want.”

According to Judopay, it will be using its experience in enabling businesses to take safe and secure payments, to enable MedPoint to change the way British pharmacies operate. It will be working alongside MedPoint to promote a solution that can be installed at any pharmacy, from a local independent shop to a national chain.

Jeremy Nicholds, CEO at Judopay, said, “Our partnership with MedPoint is solving a clear challenge in the market by removing any potential risk of infection or unnecessary human contact for when patients are purchasing their repeat prescription, medicine orders or general medical goods. Judopay is leading the way with MedPoint to bring innovation to an industry that’s been slow to change.”

Recently, Judopay announced that it has been selected by the UK Government’s Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Payment Acceptance Framework. The partnership is expected to help public sector entities reduce costs and enable better payment experiences. Judopay will be offering its payments solutions to customer organisations that come under the framework.
