Merchants FAQ (iCG Billing Migration)


Are there any actions required by me (merchant) for the billing transition to CSG Forte?

Yes. Please ensure the following actions are taken to avoid any billing disruptions:

  1. Register in Dex – Dex is CSG Forte’s account management platform, allowing you to view/download invoices and manage your billing information. Welcome to Dex : Support Services 

  2. Check Dex Access – If you have not yet registered, contact our Support Team by submitting a ticket or emailing customerservice@forte.net. Note: Dex invitations expire after 8 calendar days, so prompt action is needed.

  3. Provide Your Bank with Forte’s Company IDs – If you have a debit block on your account, your bank must whitelist Company IDs 5330903620 and 2330903620 to allow automatic invoice payments.
