USPS e-payment service faces scrutiny

Article Abstract:

The US Postal Service's new electronic payment program called USPSeBillpay has been criticized by competitors and industry observers. The service allows billers and payers a central site for paying transactions without using separate passwords and navigation systems for each biller. However, parcel delivery companies such as United Parcel Service, doubt if USPSeBillpay is a postal service under the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970. On the other hand, the US Internet Industry Assn says USPSeBillpay is a bill presentment and payment system designed to compete directly against Yahoo, Intuit and other online businesses.
