Business Editors/Technology Writers
     REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2008--Yodlee, Inc., today announced that Yodlee PayToday – Yodlee’s leading expedited payments solution – is now available as a revenue generating addition to any financial institution’s online banking website. With Yodlee PayToday, financial institutions can take immediate advantage of the opportunity to generate new fee revenue by offering their customers the convenience of guaranteed, same-day electronic payments to hundreds of national and regional billers across multiple biller categories, including: credit cards, mortgage, auto finance, insurance, utilities, cable and wireless.
     An Opportunity for New Revenue
     Recent research points to rapidly increasing demand for fee-based, expedited payments:
     Over 35 percent of U.S. consumers use expedited payments today 175 percent of the top 50 U.S. banks are offering or planning to offer expedited payments 2Fee revenue from expedited payment services will grow to roughly $1.7 billion by 2009 – a CAGR of 11 percent. 3
     â€œWe think the data is very convincing, leaving little doubt that there is growing consumer demand for expedited payments, in particular through the online channel,” said Joseph Polverari, SVP Strategy and Development at Yodlee. “Part of the difficulty in converting consumer demand into financial institution revenue, lies in having a meaningful network of mainstream billers. Through Yodlee PayToday, Yodlee is able to deliver hundreds of well-known national and regional billers, such that a typical bill paying consumer could expect to be able to pay four or more monthly bills on an expedited basis, as necessary. This translates into a very big revenue opportunity for financial institutions. We’re not aware of any provider, other than Yodlee, that can deliver as rich an assortment of relevant billers across all of the major biller categories.”
     Easy Installation/Integration with Existing Solutions and Websites
     â€œAt Yodlee, we recognize that online bill pay is becoming cost prohibitive for many financial institutions, especially in today’s difficult economic environment,” said Bill Parsons, SVP Field Operations at Yodlee. “In response, we’ve made Yodlee PayToday available on a stand-alone basis, ready to integrate into existing solutions with little effort and no service disruption.
