This comparison chart illustrates the remarkable growth and evolution in MessagePay's loan payment transactions over two distinct 14-month periods, highlighting the platform's increasing adoption and effectiveness. The top graph, covering November 2022 to January 2024, shows a total of 1,585 payments with a right-skewed distribution, indicating that many users paid later than due often days or weeks past the deadline while early payments were minimal. Bars are segmented by payment method, with teal representing portal-initiated transactions and green for admin-assisted ones, peaking at around 100 payments on the busiest days and reflecting a nascent stage with fewer self-service options.

In contrast, the bottom graph for November 2024 to January 2026 reveals explosive growth to 35,021 total payments, driven by more on-time and early submissions, as evidenced by a towering spike at zero days past due and additional peaks on specific dates (-5, 5, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28) influenced by strategic texting reminders. The introduction of scheduled payments (dark green) alongside portal and admin methods underscores enhanced self-service features, resulting in a more efficient, member-responsive system that reduces delinquency and boosts overall transaction volume.
