I thought that perhaps this thread might be interested in this tidbit. A "Banking Online for Dummies" book was just published. It has a couple of pages on Checkfree. amazon.com Apologies if this was already posted, but I have trouble keeping up with all of the traffic on this thread. gue

What value can Princeton Telecom bring to the billing equation that CKFR cannot? The press releases by ECOM suggest that they are more biller oriented than aggregators, such as CKFR. As far as I know, CKFR does not charge billers for aggregation of bill summaries, but the biller is responsible for bill presentment themselves. Of course they can use a CKFR billing partner to set-up the bill presentment side, which would then charge the biller, at a cost that I would expect would be competitive with ECOM's charges. But the value to a biller is not having to create and mail a paper bill, and not manually clear payment with a paper check. So if people move to online banking through CKFR or Transpoint, there would be no incentive to use the biller's website for payment, and thus could lose the value of presenting the bill online, as in this scenario, I would just as soon receive the bill in the mail than march around to several sites. It just seems that a biller signing with Princeton Telecom would never gain as much value as signing with a CKFR billing partner and aggregating with CKFR or Transpoint, despite incurring the same cost of generating bills. So why do billers sign up with Princeton Telecom? What am I missing? Erik
