doxo Delivers Single-Click Mobile Bill Payment - Bloomberg

    doxo Delivers Single-Click Mobile Bill Payment       doxo Introduces doxoPAY on Mobile and Availability on Android and iPhone    Business Wire    SEATTLE -- May 30, 2012    doxo, the all-in-one digital file cabinet and e-payment solution, today  launched new single-click mobile payment capabilities, and added a new smart  phone app, doxo Mobile for Android, to its existing iPhone mobile app. Both  apps now include doxoPAY, a first-of-its-kind mobile bill payment and  management solution enabling users to receive and pay bills from their smart  phones and tablets.    The new doxoPAY functionality gives iPhone and Android users the ability to  receive and pay bills with one account and one password in a single app. Users  no longer have to set up separate usernames and access credentials to manage  payment accounts across multiple websites. People can create a free doxo  account to organize all their household accounts and documents, and can  connect directly with the growing list of service providers that have joined  doxo, including AT&T, Sprint, Puget Sound Energy, Kansas City Power and Light,  Sound Community Bank, Oregon Federal Credit Union, and many more. This  immediate mobile access enables users to pay bills and view stored documents  in the palm of their hand, anytime, anywhere.    “The best web services and mobile apps allow you to discover, compare, and  transact via the same app, in real-time. They close the loop and make it much  easier for the user,” said Jim Bruene of NetBanker. “But that simple user  experience is missing in a regular activity of most Americans: paying bills.  Whether the bill is received digitally or in paper form, payment is often a  three step, process â€" read the bill when you receive it, open it again to pay  it, and then file it somewhere else. doxo is closing the loop by embedding  payment options directly into the bill itself, and offering lifetime digital  storage of the records. I’m a fan.”    Features of doxo Mobile for iPhone and Android now include:      * Mobile bill payment. Now users can connect with their providers to pay      bills, directly from doxo Mobile.    * Mobile bill management. Users receive bills from connected providers and      upload documents and bills from home, work, or on the go.    * Digital file cabinet. Users manage all their household accounts and      important file folders. Account information, notes, important documents,      and bills can be uploaded and organized by account. Users can also snap      photos on their phone to upload bills and receipts right into their      digital file cabinet.    * Secure back up. doxo automatically and securely backs up users critical      documents â€" insurance policies, marriage licenses, house deeds, and      important notes, bills and statements â€" directly to their hard drive or      cloud drives like Box.com or Dropbox.    “The doxo mission is to massively simplify the experience of interacting with  providers and paying bills. The new capabilities of our mobile app make bill  paying simpler than ever. So simple, in fact, that doxo users are paying their  bills an average of 10 days sooner than they would through traditional mail,”  said Steve Shivers CEO of doxo. “doxo Mobile takes the hassle out of bill  payment, and provides an innovative, free service for businesses to offer to  their customers, without having to develop their own app.”    For businesses, doxo’s digital file cabinet and mobile app eliminate the key  obstacles consumers cite to going paperless and empowers companies of all  sizes to simplify customer interaction, speed collection, eliminate credit  card fees, and dramatically increase paperless adoption without expensive  software. While it’s impractical for customers to download separate mobile  apps for all their business providers, the doxo approach provides businesses  with the benefits of direct customer interaction and self-service, without the  expense of developing a standalone app.    Businesses on doxo and doxo Mobile typically save 80 percent or more on the  average cost of mailing a document and receiving a payment.
