The FAQ pages seem to be accessible but the enrollment form has some mystery links missing alt tags. I kind of wish this service was coming out a few months down the road. It would be an excellent case to see if the 508 legislation has any teeth or not. Wary of losing its lucrative bill and payment delivery business to the Internet, the U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday launched a service that allows people to pay all their bills via computer on one site. The service, called USPSeBillPay, is being made available immediately, Postmaster General William Henderson said.
New customers get to use USPSeBillPay free for the first six months after enrolling.
The Postal Service worked with CheckFree Holdings Corp. and YourAccounts. Com, a unit of DST Systems Inc.'s Output Technology Solutions, to develop the system. Companies will be able to send bills electronically to participants in the service, and individuals will be able to pay all of their bills electronically. If someone wants to make a payment to a company that does not have an electronic connection to the service, the post office will simply issue a check, said postal spokesman Mark Saunders. The eBillPay service soon will include an electronic postmark, which stamps a date and time to billing data to prevent tampering.
