BlueLight Unlimited Internet Service Selects eBillit for Customer Management and Payment Options

eBillit provides back-end solutions to support a complete range of services, including simple and secure alternatives to paying by credit card for digital goods and services. In addition to the benefit of alternate payment methods, eBillit offers BlueLight Unlimited ISP customers a seamless registration process and customer management services.

Alternate payment methods 

According to a survey conducted by Kmart's BlueLight Unlimited ISP (July, 2001), 45% of users polled cited monthly payment via their phone bill as the preferred alternative to paying by credit card. Through its agreement with eBillit, BlueLight  now offers customers a variety of payment options including the choice to be billed directly on their local phone bill, via their credit card or automatic monthly deductions from their checking or savings account.

By adding eBillit's suite of services, the BlueLight Unlimited ISP enhances customer experience with its Validation and Fraud Control System, offering customers a seamless and secure registration process that makes registration quick and easy.

eBillit cites old studies showing that while only 66% of U.S. households have a credit card (U.S. Census Bureau, 1998), less than 16% of consumers feel comfortable using a credit card online (Wall Street Journal/BAIGlobal Inc., 7/00). According to Les Riedl of the Atlanta-based consultancy Speer and Associates, Credit is the most popular form of payment on the Internet today because consumers aren't aware of other secure options. Show consumers a bulletproof alternative and then offer more payment options and the volume will grow.
