BROOKFIELD, Wis. — Fiserv Inc., a provider of information technology services to the financial and insurance industries, has announced that the company recently doubled the number of bills that consumers can pay using the CheckFreePay NextDay payment service, according to a news release. This addition brings the number of bills available for next-business-day payment to more than 300 and reflects a growing customer demand for faster payments regardless of payment method.
CheckFreePay enables consumers to walk in and pay common household expenses such as utility, mobile phone, insurance, auto and credit card bills via a nationwide network of more than 12,000 agents. Consumers typically pay using cash and receive a receipt as proof of payment. Standard CheckFreePay walk-in payments are delivered electronically in two-to-three business days, while CheckFreePay NextDay payments ensure payments are delivered the next business day. Power, phone and cable bills are those most frequently paid using the CheckFreePay NextDay service. CheckFreePay also offers a same-day payment option for select bills.
"With CheckFreePay, anyone can walk into a local grocery or convenience store and make their bill payments in a secure and timely manner," said Paul Harrison, senior vice president and general manager of CheckFreePay, now part of Fiserv. "CheckFreePay NextDay payments are a reasonably priced payment option that allows consumers to avoid late fees and pay critical bills, such as utility bills, quickly. This service offering is designed to meet a growing consumer demand, and we anticipate that usage will increase as we continue to focus on the number of bills available for payment the next business day."
