>>>It has ocurred to me (probably a crazy idea) for a while that if CKFR merged, acquired, or teamed with CYCH they would be an end-to-end e-commerce powerhouse. They could compete against any and all comers.

Does seem to be the only avenue they are not in the thick of.

But as I stated earlier I would perfer my digital repetitive transaction interaction, monthly bills, thru Quicken[method #3] vs my Bank[method #2]. I see Checkfree really strong in both areas.

Method #1, merchant to customer, is as I see it appealing to doing online shopping, where the customer would rather pay with cash vs. credit. I'm sure I'll end up using it sooner or later.

However I still think the big money in this is to be made by sending millions and millions and millions of transactions month after month after month like clockwork downline to consumers on #2 & #3. The key to that is getting all the Big Billers you can get your hands on.
