Paying utility bills at the end of the month can be a hassling task for most people, particularly where the lack of time or convenience are key de-motivating forces.

ILUMINAT's Electronic Bill Payment Presentment (EBPP) software, 'Sure Pay', makes this sometimes arduous, but always important chore, fast, simple and expedient to perform.

A feature of online-banking, this web-enabled, bill payment application allows persons to send money from their savings account, chequing account or credit card directly into their credit accounts at vendors subscribing to the service from non-vendor locations. Vendors may range from public utilities to department stores.

Traditionally, businesses selected as the venues for this service are high consumer-trafficked, multi-outlet organisations such as supermarkets, which partner with the banks and service providers for the mutual benefit of all.

ILLUMINAT's Sure Pay services offer consumers the convenience of a one-stop shop where several payments to varying creditors can be made instantaneously, in one transaction and at a greater number of locations.

SurePay securely handles the distribution of the funds to each of the vendor's on behalf of the payee and at no additional cost! The payment is optimally executed electronically in real time, and consumers are provided with an official proof of payment receipt for their records.

The system is constantly in communication with each of the vendors' accounting systems, updating payments to individual accounts on an on-going basis so that all account information is kept current and secure. It also means bills can be paid on the day they are due without the risk of penalty.
