>>>Frankly, at first glance this looks like a shotgun marriage to me. Integrion insists that CKFR share the wealth with one of their members, and CKFR can hardly refuse. But what's in it for CKFR?

Sounds like one of those Farmers' Daughter Joke to me!

If you wan't to buy something on the web most merchants don't offer a payment method from your checking account. But Visa has thousands banks which might be interested in e-Billing their statements with CheckFree, let alone the merchants which honor visa. I read the thing sideways as usual, but it looks to me like CheckFree is working with another major biller Visa? If true we're the traveling salesman. Yippie!

Maybee you could even drill down through your visa bill, to the merchant line item within the presented visa bill. Talk about an interactive marketing tool for the merchants involved, including the banks. Now that is one thing given their closed system MSDFC would be very, very hard pressed to duplicate. In fact I don't think they could, has to be open with links to do that. In saying that CheckFree/Visa could make that visa bill presentment realtime interactive like on line banking.

Just think...drill down right though a check or a charge to the merchant site?

Looks Nasty to me....

BTW that would make the service more valuable the 'bannar' adds on search engines...because you would be actually directing web traffic between merchants and the 'already customers'
