EBPP Frequently Asked Questions

What is electronic bill presentment and payment?

Electronic bill presentment and payment — often abbreviated to EBPP — is a form of electronic billing service that enables businesses to present electronic billing statements and invoices to customers, typically using an online platform. In most cases, customers also have the option to pay their bill electronically using the same platform. EBPP is an integral component of online banking and other electronic billing systems across all industries.

Are there different approaches to electronic bill presentment and payment?

Yes. Businesses have the option of billing customers directly, through a third party —often a bank — or both.
 
With direct billing, customers can make direct payments using a company’s website over a secure connection. With a third-party service, customers can make payments to multiple companies through a single online portal, and the service provider — sometimes called a consolidator or aggregator — distributes payments to the appropriate recipients.

Does implementing electronic bill presentment and payment increase customer satisfaction?

Investing in EBPP is one of the best ways to improve customer engagement and overall satisfaction because it consolidates all communications — print, email, text, mobile and more — to a single platform, helping customers stay up-to-date and on top of payments. Electronic billing services such as ACI Speedpay also give customers the flexibility to choose their preferred payment method and channel. In fact, according to research from ACI, EBPP has the power to reduce customer service calls by up to 20% and increase engagement by 30%.

Can electronic bill presentment and payment help businesses save money?

Yes. By moving customer communications, billing and payments online, EBPP reduces document delivery costs by 50%. Since everything is online and electronic, EBPP also makes it easier than ever before for customers to complete payments, increasing the likelihood for consistent on-time payments. Businesses can expedite the payments process even further by investing in a disbursements solution such as ACI’s Digital Disbursement Service, which enables businesses to send funds — from refunds to insurance claim payments — in real time. 

How can businesses implement electronic bill presentment and payment?

In order to implement EBPP — or any other electronic billing service, for that matter — businesses need to invest in the appropriate technology and build a comprehensive online platform or partner with a provider focused on EBPP innovation. ACI Speedpay is a modern bill payment solution that supports EBPP by making it easy for businesses to electronically generate and present billing statements and invoices to customers, and for customers to view and pay bills through the channel of their choosing, whether that’s online, on a mobile device or in-person.
