TigerDirect.com Now Accepts SECURE-eBill

"Adding SECURE-eBill is evidence of our unceasing commitment to customer service," says Gilbert Fiorentino, CEO of TigerDirect. "This safe payment option utilizing online banking has strong appeal to customers who shop at TigerDirect.com, but are not able to or don't want to use a credit card online. SECURE-eBill is the perfect solution offering our customers a secure and convenient way to shop online."

TigerDirect was recently ranked No. 26 in the United States by Internet Retailer magazine. TigerDirect customers can now select the SECURE-eBill payment option at checkout on TigerDirect.com, and pay for the orders at their banks' Web site from their checking or savings accounts-the same way 84 million consumers already pay their utility, phone, and other bills.

"We're delighted that TigerDirect has chosen to offer SECURE-eBill to their customers," says Marwan Forzley, President and CEO of MODASolutions. "By choosing SECURE-eBill, TigerDirect is tapping into a large and growing customer base that is familiar and comfortable with paying bills online. Online banking is becoming a mainstream service, with 35 percent of bills being paid online and 44 percent of Internet users now reporting that they use online banking. Accessing this market is sure to have a significant economic impact on TigerDirect's bottom line."

SECURE-eBill supports multichannel merchants in North America with a noncredit based payment option that drives incremental sales at lower costs. Customers find SECURE-eBill simple and familiar. Any consumer with an online bank account is already set up and ready to use SECURE-eBill; there is no sign-up or enrollment required. Consumers simply select the SECURE-eBill payment option at checkout, and then login directly to their banks' Web site to pay for their orders. The payment is completed safely and securely, with no exchange of sensitive financial information such as credit card, Social Security, or bank account numbers. And in addition to the security benefits, first-time customers of TigerDirect who choose SECURE-eBill will receive a free USB key for a limited time.

"We lead the market with the industry's highest-quality computer products at the lowest-possible prices, and we lead the market with attention to customer service," says Mr. Fiorentino of TigerDirect. "The integration of SECURE-eBill's credit card-free option is simply another great way to support our customers, and augment our mission to reach and serve all online shoppers, while delivering the highest levels of security and fraud prevention with every transaction."
