USPS Offers Electronic Billing and Payment

The U.S. Postal Service is offering its customers electronic billing and payment. The new service, called USPS eBillPay, is part of an agreement with CheckFree Corp. and YourAccounts.com, a division of Output Technology Solutions. The new service may be challenged before the Postal Rate Commission on such issues as whether or not it is a postal service as defined by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970.
