Treasury Management Association Updated on Electronic Payment Channels

DALLAS, Texas – September 13, 2004 – BillMatrix Corporation, a provider of outsourced telephone and Internet-based payment services, today made a presentation on ”Expanding Electronic Payment Channels” at the Northeast Ohio Treasury Management Association’s annual Idea Exchange. Jerry Portocalis, senior vice president of sales and marketing for BillMatrix, reviewed the key drivers for moving from manual, paper-based bill payments to on-demand, automated electronic payments. He covered governance and on-going support requirements, system usage data as well as key security and reliability features.

Customer-focused and bottom-line oriented recurring billers offer their consumers the ability to pay their bills on the phone or on-line 24 hours a day, seven days a week using a credit card, ATM/debit card or ACH/electronic check on-demand, without having to register ahead of time. BillMatrix provides this outsourced service on behalf of over 100 recurring billers in the utilities, telecommunications, insurance, and consumer finance industries, providing the strong foundation of expertise NEOTMA was looking for to educate its members.

The organization’s leadership selects seminar topics and keynote speakers to provide a range of interesting subjects to all financial managers and professionals.
