Duquesne's Pennsylvania Customers Can Realize Increased Convenience, Financial Control and Time Savings with the New Service
ATLANTA, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CheckFree i-Solutions, the leading provider of interactive e-billing and e-statement software and services and part of CheckFree Corporation (Nasdaq: CKFR - News), and Duquesne Light Company, the principal subsidiary of DQE, Inc. (NYSE: DQE - News), today announced that electronic billing and payment services are available to Duquesne's residential customers. Duquesne is a leader in the transmission and distribution of electric energy delivering electricity to more than 580,000 residential customers throughout southwest Pennsylvania.
Beginning in March, Duquesne will offer its residential customers ElectriPay(TM), an online billing and payment option available via Duquesne's website or through any of the more than 780 sites powered by CheckFree. By visiting www.duquesnelight.com , Duquesne customers will be able to view their bills online and schedule payments using their checking or money market accounts through ElectriPay, in addition to the other online services offered by Duquesne-such as address change and transfer services.
Online billing and payment services provide Duquesne's customers with an easy, efficient way to gain more control over the payment of their monthly bills. Customers can quickly retrieve and review the same billing information they currently receive by mail. With a few clicks of the mouse, the customer can choose the payment date, rather than trying to remember when they need to mail the payment to ensure arrival by the due date. As a result, Duquesne customers will no longer have to spend time writing checks, manually recording the payments, stuffing envelopes and locating stamps to pay their bill. Unlike paper payments, customers who pay their bills electronically are protected by the CheckFree Guarantee against late fees resulting from processing delays, as well as liability for unauthorized transactions. Payment status and history is accessible 24 x 7 on a secure online site. . .
