Fiserv News
Fiserv recently announced a merger between its interactive technologies unit and its CheckFree investment services unit. Fiserv bought CheckFree Corp. in December.
Cheryl Nash, senior vice president of strategy, marketing, and product development in the CheckFree unit, said Advantage Fee, a packaged software application, will be integrated into the CheckFree APL portfolio accounting service. The product will be integrated this year.
Advantage Fee has 70 clients, including institutional investors and wealth management companies. It's a billing system that doesn't exist in the current APL service.
CheckFree had previously planned to replace APL's command-line interface with a point-and-click front end, but is now taking a more iterative approach. This approach is called a "progressive migration."

Fiserv Upgrades Online Bill Pay
Fiserv is enhancing its CheckFree RXP online bill pay platform with new features that will drive more consumer usage of the service.

The bill pay widget makes it easy for consumers to schedule bill payments from their financial institution's online banking page. It's a condensed display of key criteria, including the biller to be paid, the pay date, and the amount, which allows users to make payments quickly to any biller they have previously paid.
Fiserv claims that this kind of prominent placement will keep bill pay top of mind for consumers. The widget will be available in February.
CheckFree RXP also features an expedited payment service. Consumers can select the overnight check option to quickly pay billers not directly connected to Fiserv's system, such as landlords.
A final enhancement prompts consumers to sign up for electronic bills each time they add a new biller. In addition, consumers are now able to view 18 months of their payment histories.
Here are the new features of CheckFree RXP:
- Bill pay widget
- Expedited payment service
- Electronic bill activation and storage
- Enhanced fee-based payment management
