Opy Goes Live in the US with ezyVet

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Buy now, Pay smarter.' company, Opy USA, Inc., (Opy), and its parent company Openpay Pty Ltd (ASX: OPY) (Openpay), proudly announce the launch of their US expansion with ezyVet, a next-generation, customizable cloud-based Practice Management software instrumental for managing day-to-day workflows for veterinarian practices worldwide.  

Now available in the US, Opy expands ezyVets existing global relationship with Openpay in both Australia and the UK. Starting in October, ezyVet will offer Opy's Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) products to its US client base, providing pet owners with a differentiated, Buy Now, Pay Smarter payment option, with affordable and fair pricing to cover commonly expensive services, such as neutering and spraying, annual examinations, emergency surgeries, and life-saving treatments. In the US alone, pet owners spend over $1,000 annually on their dogs and over $600 on cats, the majority of animals adopted as pets within US households.

"Owning a pet means that you have an extended member of your family, and it's heartbreaking to think about how many pet owners need to make painful decisions simply because they cannot afford an expensive treatment," said Brian Shinderman, CEO of Opy and Chief Strategy Officer of Openpay. "Opy removes those barriers by providing flat, predictable payments, with costs lower than most competitors, and with more time to pay. We are hopeful that our offering with ezyVet will provide consumers with the resources needed to focus on what matters most – optimal care for their loved ones".  

Effective immediately, the US launch introduces ezyVet as the first cloud-based software to unveil BNPL in a transparent form within the veterinarian space and welcomes Opy as the first BNPL provider to be partnered into a cloud-based platform for veterinarian care.

"Opy's differentiated BNPL product provides doctors and their teams access to offer longer payment terms for their clients, better enabling optimal care choices in an all-in-one solution, from check-in to check-out," explained Mike Kimbell, SVP, Head of US Healthcare for Opy. "Our streamlined presence within ezyVet can help provide their client base with assistance when facing challenging financial decisions and in addition, help save veterinary staff valuable time and better expand upon client relationships."

"We've had enormous success working with Openpay in both Australia and the UK and are delighted to roll out in partnership with Opy here in the US," said ezyVet Chief Growth Officer Pete Brown. "The  veterinarians we partner with deeply care about their consumers and are ecstatic to offer alternative payment solutions to assist in providing care for their most loyal companions."

Beginning this month, the first registered ezyVet locations will go live in Ohio, Michigan, and Virginia.
