Payments said:
“Our Western Union Payments Money Mindset
Index shows that consumers, whose use of mobile devices is
outpacing all other media, are looking for a wider range of payment
options from billers”
According to the company, the new Speedpay
gives consumers access to a 24 hours one-click bill payment
processing.
Garin Toren COO of Striata said:
“Email delivery of bills is ideally suited to
the mobile channel. Through an encrypted attachment, recipients are
able to open, view and pay their electronic bills on any
email-capable mobile device or tablet, without the need to download
any application or software.”
