ATLANTA, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Electronic commerce company CheckFree Holdings Inc. on Tuesday said it is working with Rosemead, Calif.-based Southern California Edison on a system that would offer customers the option to receive and pay their utility bill via the Internet.
SCE, an electric utility, is a subsidiary of Edison International .
As part of the CheckFree E-Bill implementation process, SCE will conduct a four-month internal testing program to allow its employees the opportunity to visit a central Web site to both view and pay bills electronically using their own computers.
The service, upon successful testing, would be offered to SCE's 4.2 million customers in central and southern California.
SCE customers would be able to view their utility bills and receive full-color electronic replicas over the Internet, complete with graphics, logos and full billing details.
"Receiving and paying monthly bills on a PC will save our customers time, money and trouble, and it reflects our commitment to top-quality service through advanced technologies, said SCE.
