Thanks to Dave from Hawaii who posted the link on the Motley Fool thread.

Quote from a Bank of America person:

'BofA's Graeber says, "We'd wish that 100 percent of our payments were electronic, because it's just so much more efficient." '

And another quote -- showing e-bill is already attracting the attention of the Naderites:

"This is all covered by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act - Regulation E," said Ed Mierzwinski of the US Public Interest Research Group. "Regulation E is among the weakest of consumer laws."

Hmmmmm.

<This was ranked #2 Stock behind ADPT on SI>
