Gary brags: Paytrust delivers the original remittance stub back to the biller along with a check.

Hmmmm.....Paytrust cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?

Stamp: .33 cents
Check: .05 cents (if they buy in bulk)
Check printing: .05 cents (systems, etc.)
Envelope: .02? (or do they save all the different size ones they get from billers?)
Handling of remittance stubs: .05 (do they fill out the stub with the amount? - what a nightmare)

So that is .50 cents just for payment, how much does it cost to open the bills manually, scan them and put them on the web? (.20 cents?)

So a conservative estimate is .70 cents per bill cost, even though, I know it's costing them more (marketing, buildings, etc.). And they allow clients to pay up to 25 bills, so potentially they client could cost them up to $17.50 per month, but they only get revenues of $7.95 per month.

Gary? Hello? Paytrust has only been in production 3 weeks.
