>>> In conclusion, I think the best thing CF could do for now would try to sell one
of the major banks on the fact that they need an alliance with a major portal, something
like NationsBank and Yahoo, or Chase and Lycos, etc.. If one bank was to do it, the
others would be sure to follow.

If not one of the majors, I guarantee you it won't be very long before some bank starts to tie up the portals. Banks seem to be slow off the starting line with Internet commerce and I am afraid they may loose the lead just like they did to VISA and Master Card in Credit cards.

<<<< That being said, the NationsBank contract is due up in mid-september, and maybe a good strategy would be to push the banks to advertise through the contract that checkfree signs with them. >>>

Maybe something similar to the INTEL INSIDE.

They need to come up with a slogan that has a nice ring to it. Require every bank to put it on advertising that is done in relation to a product that uses CKFR behind the scenes.
