Fiserv to Drive E-Bill Adoption

6, Country, Priority, UNITED STATESBy Robert McKinley 06/20/2012

Fiserv announced the launch of E-bill Introduction, a new feature within the widely used CheckFree® RXP® payment suite. E-bill Introduction offers consumers an opportunity to receive electronic bills (e-bills) via their online banking service for an introductory period during which they also continue to receive paper bills in the mail. Pilots of the feature conducted with five financial institutions delivered solid results, with consumers enrolled in the pilot activating three times more e-bills than consumers who were not enrolled. E-Bill Introduction utilizes a 90-day introductory period to enable consumers who already pay their bills electronically to experience receiving e-bills at their financial institution firsthand. During this 90-day period the consumer receives an e-bill via online banking and a traditional paper bill in the mail. Following the trial period consumers can opt to continue receiving e-bills and turn off their paper bill, or the e-bill will be discontinued and the consumer will continue to receive a paper bill.

5, Country, Priority, UNITED KINGDOMBy Robert McKinley 07/31/2009

Credit card charge-offs exceeded the 10% mark in June, a new record. Compared to one-year ago, charge-offs are up 46.5%. Moody’s Investors Service says that assuming charge-offs increase in line with
unemployment, an increase of 25% by the end of next year from today’s
10.12% level should be expected, resulting in charge-offs exceeding 12.5% by mid-year 2010. Moody’s also notes that 30+ day delinquencies have largely stabilized over the past quarter for numerous trusts. Other key credit card indices such as the payment rate and yields remain
broadly stable. Credit card excess spreads remain positive at present but are under pressure due to increasing defaults.

HSA Payment Card Balances Grew in 2008

5, Country, Priority, UNITED STATESBy Robert McKinley 03/24/2009

A new study as found that consumers who select HSAs to manage their
health care spending are not simply using these accounts to pay for
their immediate health care needs. They are also funding their HSAs
above and beyond their employer contributions and using them as long
term savings and investment vehicles. Canopy Financial also found that
HSA account balances grew in 2008, despite the economic downturn, and
employee contributions to HSAs significantly outpaced employer
contributions. Moreover, transfers into health investment accounts were
double and triple transfers out of HIAs throughout the year.
Additionally, card payments consistently lagged behind every other spend
category, with the majority of spend out of HSAs being derived from bill
payments and reimbursements.
