In 2025, NextPay focused on upgrading the infrastructure that powers your business. We deployed significant updates to increase transaction capacity, provide forensic-level visibility into your funds, and deepen the integration across our entire financial suite.
Here is the archive of the key milestones and tools we launched this year to serve you better:
1. New Features: Eliminate Anxiety & Audit Risks
These updates were designed to give Finance teams and Administrators better oversight of their funds and reduce support inquiries.
Track Your Funds
We introduced a public, shareable tracking link for payouts. Similar to e-commerce delivery tracking, this allows recipients to view the real-time status of their funds (Processed → In Transit → Received) without needing to contact the sender.
NextPay Status Page
We established status.nextpay.ph as the single source of truth for the health of the NextPay Platform. This always-on dashboard provides real-time visibility into the operational status of our Website, API, and banking networks.
You can now verify system uptime before initiating critical transactions or subscribe to updates to stay informed about scheduled maintenance, ongoing issues, and incident resolutions.
Full guide coming soon.
Running Ending Balance
To assist with historical reconciliation and audits, the Transaction History and Dashboard now display a dedicated "Ending Balance" column. This visualizes the precise balance of your account after every individual transaction row.
Full guide coming soon.
Custom SMS Alerts (Classic Wallet)
You can now add a custom 160-character message to individual paychecks within a batch payout (e.g., "13th Month Pay" or "Invoice #101 Payment").
Fee: ₱3.00 per SMS
Availability: Currently supported for Classic Wallet batch payouts
Full guide coming soon.
2. NextPayout: Built for High-Volume
Significant backend improvements were made to the NextPayout (app.nextpay.world) engine to handle enterprise-level volume and reporting.
Bulk Payouts Capacity Increase
We have increased the maximum capacity for batch files. The system now reliably supports uploads and processing for up to 1,000 recipients per single batch file.
Duplicate Batch Payouts Faster
We have optimized the system to duplicate existing batch payouts 2x faster than before. This enhancement streamlines the process for recurring payments like payroll, allowing you to copy previous data and initiate funding with significantly reduced wait times.
Audit-Ready Transaction History
We rebuilt our export tool to support high-volume data retrieval without performance degradation. The new engine delivers CSV files directly to your email and includes granular filters for date, purpose, and transaction type.
Benchmark: Capable of processing approximately 39,000 records in 3 minutes.
Fund Anytime, Anywhere with FlexWallet
We introduced dedicated corporate wallets assigned to each workspace or company entity. The FlexWallet structure is designed to facilitate faster deposits into your account, bypassing standard manual verification queues.
Deposit Fee: ₱20.00
Instapay Limit: ₱50,000.00 per transaction
3. NextAPI: Integrated Financial Tools
2025 marked the release of NextAPI, our Fintech-as-a-Service (FaaS) engine designed for scaling platforms. This suite allows you to integrate NextPay’s banking, payout, and collection capabilities directly into your own internal systems or customer-facing products.
Embedded Finance Capabilities
Instead of manually uploading files or logging into a dashboard, NextAPI allows your software to trigger financial actions automatically. You can build custom workflows that generate accounts, send payouts, or issue invoices directly from your own system.
Use Cases: Ideal for HRIS platforms automating salary disbursements, B2B marketplaces managing merchant collections, or lending apps that need to disburse loans and auto-deduct repayments.
NextAPI Merchant Dashboard
Give your Finance team full visibility. No code required.
We introduced a dedicated visual interface for NextAPI partners. This dashboard allows non-technical team members, such as Finance and Operations managers, to visually monitor all sub-accounts and transaction activities without needing direct database access or developer assistance.
Internal Network Transfers
NextAPI enables free, seamless transfers between distinct NextAPI workspaces. This creates a "Network Effect" where platforms can move funds to other NextPay users (e.g., from a Parent Company wallet to a Subsidiary wallet) in real-time without transaction fees.

4. NextCollect: Intelligent Receivables
We have re-engineered our invoicing solution. While our legacy tool "Invoices" was primarily a document generator, NextCollect (platform.nextpay.world) is a full-cycle accounts receivable engine designed to get you paid faster with less effort.
Here are the critical upgrades in NextCollect:
From Manual Follow-Ups to Smart Chasing
Legacy users had to manually email clients to remind them of due dates. NextCollect automates this entirely. You can now set specific rules to automatically send polite, professional reminders via email or SMS before, on, and after the due date.
From Sent to Seen (Real-Time Intelligence)
Stop guessing if your client received the bill. The new status dashboard goes beyond "Sent" and "Paid." It now tracks when a client has “Viewed" the invoice, giving you the leverage you need to follow up effectively.
From Manual Matching to Auto-Reconciliation
Previously, matching a bank deposit to a specific PDF invoice was a manual administrative task. NextCollect integrates directly with payment gateways (QRPh, E-Wallets, Bank Transfers). When a client pays via the invoice link, the system automatically marks the invoice as "Paid" and reconciles the transaction instantly.
Attachments and Context
You can now attach supporting documents, such as signed contracts, timesheets, or proof of delivery, directly to the digital invoice. This reduces back-and-forth friction and speeds up client approval.
5. Partnership: Payroll-to-Payout
We have partnered with Hier Payroll to launch a seamless Payroll-to-Payout experience. By directly embedding NextPay's disbursement technology, Hier Payroll now allows you to compute salaries and release funds immediately without ever leaving their platform.
All-in-One Workflow
You can now execute the entire payroll process, from timekeeping and tax computation to final disbursement, entirely inside Hier Payroll. There is no need to export bank files, switch tabs, or log in to a separate payment portal.
Compliance Meets Speed
Hier Payroll handles your government compliance (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG) and net pay calculations. Once approved, NextPay's infrastructure powers the real-time transfer of funds to your employees' bank accounts or e-wallets instantly.
