How Banks Can Benefit From a Single EBPP Provider and Platform

Swift growth in online payments fuels demand for EBPP solutions

When it comes to paying bills, the numbers tell the story. Businesses and consumers vastly prefer convenient, electronic methods to traditional paper invoices and checks.

  • 60 percent of bills paid electronically and online
  • More than 9 billion bills paid annually
  • Nearly 2/3 of younger consumers (age 18-34) pay bills with smartphones

Whether it’s a monthly utility bill, a recurring car payment or a one-time invoice for office supplies, the expectations for ease, security and service are high.

The right electronic bill presentment and payment (EBPP) solution can resolve a number of pain points for businesses, from reducing the payment delays common with paper checks to eliminating manual workarounds and expediting cash flow.

In fact, many businesses are willing to switch banking partners to get the digital features they need.

The right EBPP partner adds value across the payment cycle

Receiving digital payments is no longer a luxury. It’s why the market for electronic bill presentment and payment represents a sizeable and immediate market opportunity for financial institutions.
