zuma_rk,
that stuff is pretty cool....also see the "Powered by Transium? May mean something for CKFR.

Can't help but also look over the list and wonder where things like this have gone;

TSYS Teams With CheckFree
Abstracted from Report on Home Banking & Financial Services 02/12/98

Total System Services teams with CheckFree to allow cardholders of its card-issuing financial institution clients to receive and pay credit card bills over the Internet

Some announcements seem to be made, and then zip, nada into the black hole. Somehow it seems that these should be coming to fruition, unless they were just for the glitter. Unfortunately I don't seem to be seeing the results of associations/announcements like this. And I wonder why!

zuma:

Very much like Michael Bloomberg's winning strategy: just keep sticking new, incredible, free stuff inside the box, and wait for your customers to discover it and get hooked on the convenience...

Bloomberg is in trouble. His system is far and away the most expensive on the street. With some cheap shareware I can cobble together on the Web a system which provides 80% of what his does for 90% less money. Michael Bloomberg never gave anything away.
