Analyst quotes

Ascent "Electronic bill presentation and payment is an attractive opportunity for high volume billers. While electronic payment does offer some savings and the elimination of many manual processes, it's really electronic bill presentment that offers the biggest savings for companies."

Tower Group By 2010, an online bill payment solution for retail banking customers will cost the financial services industry more than $1 billion. The expected $40.7 million in revenue from payments will offset only 4% of the annual online bill pay costs.
