Found this... billpaytm.com Kind of interesting, although sounds cumbersome to set up, and not a pay anyone engine. I think the majority of people would rather pay bills at home than at an atm. Although, I think the concept does have some merit (though it would mean even longer lines at the ATM machine).

Here is an interesting side note. The Transfer Agent and Registrar for CKFR stock is Fifth Third Bank. Fifth Third Bank is a Top 50 bank....here is the interesting part...Fifth Third has bill pay: 53.com ...guess what, the bill pay is NOT done through CheckFree...kind of bogles my mind. I think I remember getting downgraded by some analyst because CF wouldn't let them be the transfer agent (of course my memory is fuzzy, so don't hold me to that last statement). I guess my question is for CheckFree...Why don't they switch to a bank that uses CheckFree bill pay? (many to choose from)
