ePayment: Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP)
As of October 2003, all Orange customers who have a yellow PostFinance account will be able to pay their Orange bills simply and comfortably via the Internet in just three clicks. This is the final component of the Orange electronic information and transaction offer for customers with a fixed Price Plan.
A secure Internet connection has been available to all Orange customers for some time now offering information on available services, outstanding talk time and talk time already used and even SIM card status. Orange customers even have the possibility to download contact data from their online address book to their SIM card via the portal site www.orangeworld.ch.
And thanks to this brand new opportunity to pay Orange bills online in just three simple clicks without entering any of the bill information - not even the reference number - Orange has now completed its invoicing services offer.
PostFinance solution
PostFinance, the financial services section of the Swiss Post Office, has designed a special system of 'yellow bills', enabling account holders to use standard electronic invoicing from bill presentment right through to payment. This system is advantageous for both the issuer of the bill and the customer: the bill can be sent out in electronic format via the Internet and customers can settle all outstanding amounts in the comfort of their own homes in just three simple clicks. The bonus of this system in comparison to online banking is that it is no longer necessary to enter the bill information manually - it is prepared and provided by the issuer. Yellowbill has enormous potential. Today, of a total of over two million account holders, some 370,000 use more than 650'000 online accounts, placing PostFinance in the number 1 position for online banking throughout Switzerland.
"Orange offers simple, customer-friendly services in all areas of mobile communications and we were eager to extend this to bill payment," explains Fabrice Allegro, Strategy & Planning Director with Orange Switzerland, "This type of electronic bill presentment and payment will offer utmost security for almost all payment transactions made by consumers. A host of well-known businesses are already connected to the Post Office's EBPP network and this trend is set to continue."
