INTF vs. CKFR Yamakita, Checkfree is a pure EBPP(Electronic Bill Presentment & Payment) vendor. Interface primarily competes in the L2i market with a focus on the ESP (Electronic Statement Presentment) market and views EBPP as more of an opportunistic market. However, some of INTF's customers and partners are successfully competing with CKFR and this can only lead to greater (and cost-free) residual flows for INTF. Hope that helps! M
