-- CheckFree Opens Access to Services for Financial Institutions to
Better Integrate and Control a Seamless and Enhanced Online Banking
Experience -- ATLANTA, Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CheckFree
Corporation (NASDAQ:CKFR) today introduced a new set of standard
technology services designed to give financial institutions open
access to CheckFree's electronic billing and payment
infrastructure. This open access gives financial institutions
ultimate control over how they present the electronic billing and
payment experience to consumers. CheckFree Builder(TM) is the first
Web services solution that allows CheckFree's financial services
partners to fully customize their individual electronic billing and
payment user interfaces to target respective customer bases,
differentiate services, manage online branding, and "build" their
online offerings. Financial institutions that deploy CheckFree's
hosted electronic billing and payment service can use CheckFree
Builder to better customize their applications and create tighter
integration with online banking. At the same time, CheckFree
Builder offers non-hosted customers the ability to customize and
evolve their online banking and electronic billing and payment
service into single integrated solutions. CheckFree Builder
supports seamless, open communication between external applications
from different sources through an interface controlled by each
financial institution. The solution gives financial institutions
the option of greater control over their electronic billing and
payment interfaces, and allows organizations to leverage their
existing product and technology investments. Financial services
organizations traditionally provide consolidated log-in for
single-password access to both online banking and electronic
billing and payment services, but to date the two applications have
been separate. Financial institutions can use CheckFree Builder to
integrate electronic billing and payment functions with their
online banking sites, which makes website navigation easier for
consumers. With electronic billing and payment functionality
featured more prominently in online banking, consumers can manage
the viewing and paying of bills as part of a complete online
financial management process. "CheckFree is responding to the voice
of the customer with a significant shift in electronic billing and
payment that gives our financial services partners the option to
decide how much control they want over user interface design and
integration," said Matt Lewis, executive vice president and general
manager of CheckFree's Electronic Commerce division. "CheckFree
Builder addresses multiple client needs by offering the opportunity
for greater integration among retail banking functions, electronic
billing and payment and online banking in a way that is seamless
and logical for the end consumer. In addition, financial
institutions can apply existing IT and Web services investments to
electronic billing and payment integration and customization, with
greater control over development timelines and product
differentiation." With CheckFree Builder, financial institutions
can leverage their own Internet banking best practices for the
design of an electronic billing and payment user interface, while
CheckFree can provide best-practice data, professional services and
consulting. Each organization will have the choice of how it
integrates different retail banking services with electronic
billing and payment and online banking using the new service.
Examples of potential key benefits for financial institutions could
include: - Bill Payment Integration: Consumers can view complete
histories for all transaction types, including bill payments, ATM
deposits and withdrawals, and credit and debit card transactions.
End users can quickly check the status of upcoming bill payments
and scheduled transactions, quickly and easily set up and manage
payees/billers and schedule one-time, recurring or multiple bill
payments from within the online banking application. - CheckFree
e-Bill(SM) Integration: Within online banking, consumers will be
able to see unopened and pending CheckFree e-Bills, view bill
detail and take action if needed. Subscribers can easily set up or
administer e-Bills from within the online banking interface. -
Reminders and Point-in-Time Balance: Subscribers can elect to
receive notifications that e-Bills have arrived and set payment
reminders tied to the due dates of the bill. The online banking
site provides point-in-time and available balance information that
takes into account all transactions including bill payments.
Customers no longer need to cross-reference separate sections to
determine how much money is available as they schedule bill
payments. - Seamless Integration with CheckFree Products: CheckFree
Builder allows financial institutions to integrate other new
services that CheckFree delivers, such as the new CheckFree
Financial View suite of online financial management tools. About
