US-based financial services technology company Fiserv has unveiled that the number of mobile bill payment transactions processed through its biller direct solutions and MyCheckFree website, a direct to consumer payment portal, tripled within the past 24 months, rising from about 4 percent of bill payment transactions to about 15 percent.

From the consumer point of view, according to the 2012 Fiserv Billing Household Survey, paying and viewing bills are the top functions consumers would like billers to provide via a mobile browser or app. The top reasons consumers paid bills through a mobile device were: it saves time (50 percent), provides anytime access (44 percent) and offers on-the-go convenience (43 percent).

Mobile billing and payment from Fiserv allows billers, including utilities, credit card companies, insurers, auto lenders and others, to offer customers mobile interactions including: viewing and paying bills via a mobile-optimized website; viewing and paying bills via biller-branded apps for Android and Apple devices; paying bills and receiving reminders and alerts via text message; and viewing and paying bills via MyCheckFree apps for Android and Apple devices.

In recent news, Fiserv has expanded its strategic partnership with Investance, a global management consulting company, into the European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) regions to help financial institutions transform their control and reconciliations technology and processes.
