>>>I can see customer service becoming even more of a problem than if every presenter handles payments for the bills it presented. And what if both consolidators present the same bill? In addition, the model of Intuits could push billers towards CheckFree. If a biller want to present at AOL and Yahoo, CheckFree is the only choice. It's still a biller war. Benny

In the atypical >case who will handle the payments. I can see customer service >becoming even more of a problem than if every presenter handles >payments for the bills it presented. In cases I'm aware of, bill presenters will also handle payments for those bills - delivering (to varying degrees) a bill-to-recon closed loop for billers. In some cases (I'm hypothesizing), there may be someone who presents bills without the payments capability (since that's harder than just presenting bills). For instance specifically, I'm not quite sure how the scanned-paper-bill payment piece works. There's typically no relationship with the biller there, so it matters less who handles the payment. - Roger
