From TP FAQ's: Q. What information can billers host on their own Web site if they decide to work with TransPoint? A. Everything except summary information and payment execution. In other words, consumers can't pay at the billers web site, if the biller uses Transpoint. Transpoint basically limits the billers own web site, not a good thing. Benny(IMHO)
