Online Statements - Driving Savings & Benefits
Posted on Tue, Jul 20, 2010 @ 09:35 AM
Despite the increasing digitization of the world today, paper is still a chief mechanism of communicating with customers. The Postal Service estimates that U.S. households receive over 150 billion pieces of mail each year. While about 75 percent is “junk” mail, bills, statements and other transactional documents make up the remaining volume.
Ever since the first electronic bill presentment and payment solutions in the late 1990’s, the notion of paperless billing has been a holy grail for many businesses and organizations. But until recently making the transition to electronic billing has been too complex and expensive for many organizations to consider. But a new breed of solutions like Statement2Web allows you to migrate from paper to electronic statement delivery without the high cost and high level of support needed in the past.

If you have considered moving your customer statements to an online delivery mechanism in the past, now may be a good time to reconsider how Statement2Web can assist in making your strategy a reality. One clear benefit is in postage – by far the biggest expense associated with printing and mailing customer statements. Indeed, the cost of postage has risen 24 percent in the past eight years and organizations often struggle to make the most of postal savings in the face of ever-changing USPS regulations. Moving to online delivery is one way to battle these rising operating costs.

Online statement delivery can dramatically improve your cash flow as well, since customers are more likely to pay outstanding bills more quickly in an online environment. One click is all it takes to pay the outstanding balance vs. having envelopes sit on desks and in in-baskets waiting for attention. This is an important improvement to cash flow, especially in today’s economy.
