| Leave a Good Impression With Electronic Payment
By Carrie Burns
June 1, 2007 - With consumers now paying more premiums online than by paper check, insurance carriers need to present electronic bills effectively enough to leave a lasting good impression. Take a look at the numbers. Online bill payments accounted for 39% of bill payments among online households last year, an increase of 4% over the previous year, according to The 2007 Consumer Bill Payment Survey, a study by Rochester, N.Y.-based Harris Interactive Inc. and The Marketing Workshop Inc. Norcross, Ga. In contrast, the volume of checks sent by mail fell 4%, accounting for 34% of the volume. Nationwide, consumers paying at least one bill online per month rose to 74%, compared to 69% of respondents in the previous survey. Consumer adoption of online bill payment has more than doubled since January 2002, when 37% of online households reported paying at least one bill online.

In one week! One! And sure enough, all this new money and credit is showing up in prices, and the Consumer Price Index, as tortured into compliance as it is, is still registering a hefty monthly increase of 0.6%.
