EBPP business models

The four EBPP business models for digital checking payments.

Online Banking

  • Bank presents and pays bills
  • Consumer uses one banking portal
  • Bank acts as consolidator
  • Example: Chase Bill Pay

Biller-Direct

  • Consumer visits each biller's site
  • Biller presents and receives payment
  • No intermediary
  • Example: utility company portal

Consolidator

  • Single site aggregates multiple billers
  • Consumer pays many bills in one place
  • Third-party provider
  • Example: bill aggregation services

EBPP (Electronic Billing Presentment and Payment) has four business models. In online banking, the consumer's bank presents and pays bills. In biller-direct, the consumer visits each biller's own site. In the consolidator model, a single third-party site aggregates bills from multiple billers. A fourth mobile model extends EBPP to smartphones.
