Forrester: 63 Million US Households To Pay Bills Online By 2014

Tags » Bill Payment  » Comments (0)

Forrester_logo-140px.jpgThe number of US households paying bills online will grow from 48 million this year to 63 million by 2014, according to a new report titled "US Electronic Bill Payment And Presentment Forecast, 2009 To 2014" by Forrester Research. A 5.4 percent compound annual growth rate reflects a maturing market where growth rates will shrink in the years ahead, but it also reflects a market that is not yet saturated.

Forrester sees a shift in the online bill payment market as more consumers turn to banks and bill payment consolidators like Yodlee and Corillian because of several factors, including: the convenience of having multiple bills aggregated at a single Web site, the elimination of bill payment fees, and innovative marketing efforts to drive adoption. By 2012, consolidators’ share of the online bill payment market will surpass direct billing by merchants for the first time, according to Forrester. READ MORE

Banks Will Spend Over $1 Billion on Online Bill Payment By 2010

Tags » Bill Payment, Online Banking  » Comments (0)

Offering free online bill payment solutions to retail banking customers will cost the financial services industry $1 billion (USD) by 2010, according to TowerGroup estimates. "This aggregate amount represents spending on the portion of the service that financial services institutions (FSIs) outsource. While financial institutions traditionally accepted this expense as a cost of doing business, the “soft” revenue associated with online bill pay (enhanced customer retention, cross-sell opportunities, reduced call center activity, and higher profitability of online bill payment users) no longer compensates for the “hard” dollars institutions must spend to facilitate it."
