MasterCard research shows that 34% of surveyed consumers would favor paying bills by recurring payment. Barry Duncan, vice president and controller for PageNet, headquartered in Dallas, said, ''Our customers find recurring payment convenient and easy. There are no checks to write, stamps to buy or statements to return. The benefit to our customers complements the advantages to PageNet, which includes faster payment.'' And the other 66% aren't up for it why? Budgets come to mind first off...and that syndrome of "too much month, not enough money". Lot's a folks struggle with their income flow and bills. Therefore, recurring payment is not the answer for the masses...that why they still have checkbooks so then can juggle the finances. Recurring payment isn't e-bill, because it isn't an electronic representation of a checkbook. It's a fixed payment to a vendor without consumer control over cash flow being rejected by 66% of consumers...currently. ie..don't confuse recurring payment with e-bill, one the consumer can't readily control, the other he can.
