Online Bill Pay

Have you made it easier for your customers to pay (and you to get your money) by registering as an online bill payee?

I'm able to do this as a freelancer which can save trips to the PO and get my money in my account sooner. Anyone else?

Explain a bit more into detail, not sure what you mean but it sounds useful.

Did that actually help you quite a lot? Seems like a more developped "Paypal" kind of service, never heard of it though...

1981, was the internet even available then

I have checked it out and here's how it goes:

It seems very good service, useful, especially that the customers can choose a full array of payment options that best meet their needs. I wonder how much is the cost of that?

From our end, it's a service that allows us to have online bill payments made directly to our bank accounts.

For example, I had one client that always paid via online bill pay. That meant going to the PO to pick up my check, then to the bank to deposit it. If I go with checkfree, when he uses his online bill payer, it goes straight to my account. Saving me time and gas.

I've never heard of this kind of service. I know you can pay all of your bills online through the actual company you are dealing with. This is interesting information.

I use online bill pay but I have never received it. However, I can pay anyone through my bank's system so long as I have their name, address and telephone number. I don't even need an account number. It takes only 5 days to get to them. Are other bill pay systems not this way?

Well I have never heard about this service but it looks good for me and it also suited with me because I am also freelancer. But site wasn't updates well because it still shows 1981-2006.

This CheckFree service sounds very intriguing. Always looking for a better option than PayPal for customers to submit online payment.
