Big concern over their guarantee... Its wording is VERY POOR, IMVHO, as it seems that if I leave my computer on my billpay screen at work, and someone logs in, sets themselves up as a payee, and then pays themself, then CF will protect me from loss. I'm sure that's not what they had intended. They need to distinguish their guarantee as protection from: 1) properly set up transactions for which payment did not arrive at the intended destination, and 2) properly set up transactions that arrived at the intended destination LATE That's IT...this wording leaves the door WIDE open, IMHO... Also, it wouldn't hurt to have the notation: "NASDAQ: CKFR" at the lower edge of their logo. Lastly, they need a bunch of nice, clean links to a background page on CF (history of the company, executive bios, stats relating to number of transactions processed and their big FI partners, Quicken, and the like). Should also have a hyperlink to their "terms & conditions," as mentioned in the guarantee. Just some quick suggestions -- back to work for me... rk

I think "Guaranteed by Checkfree" is a nice compromise. Leaves "Switzerland" branding intact as CKFR remains neutral to the various front-ends, yet gets their name out there. Sets the standard for comparison going forward, as long as the consumer doesn't just think this is an insurance policy purchased by the front-ends. In that case Transpoint may issue a similar appearing guarantee. In any event, I like the choice much better than pushing for CKFR branding everywhere. Erik (IMO)
