WILMINGTON, Del. — Online merchant processing customers of Fifth Third Processing Solutions will soon have access to extended cash-payment options for consumers.
According to a news release, Fifth Third Processing Solutions can refer merchant-processing customers to its partner eBillme, a cash-based payment alternative that leverages online banking for eCommerce checkout.
"Extending payment option offerings at the online checkout is critical for online retail businesses to attract customers, increase orders and improve satisfaction and loyalty," said Donald Boeding, president of Merchant Services for Fifth Third Processing Solutions. "We believe our customers will see eBillme as a very appealing payment solution. We look forward to working with the eBillme team and to extending this payment option to our customers."
The transactions occur bank-to-bank, with no personal or financial information required or transmitted over the Internet. Because shoppers pay directly from their online bank accounts, they don't release any financial information, safeguarding consumers from identity theft and fraud risks.
