Other significant achievements include hosting iPay regional user forums in San Francisco and Dallas as well as surpassing the 1,000-customer mark.

iPay's partnership with ClickVue to provide Web-based, interactive tutorials has yielded improved bill payment adoption and increased overall satisfaction for those financial institutions that have implemented the product. The availability of VeriSign's online fraud detection service will further benefit iPay's clients as they rush to meet the FFIEC multi-factor authentication guidance by year-end.

"Our partnerships with VeriSign and ClickVue will continue to fuel demand for iPay services from community banks and credit unions as they seek vendors that make secure bill payment easy to implement," said Kelli Schultz, president of iPay Technologies. "The tremendous growth we've achieved is attributed to our ongoing commitment to remain focused on client care, executing successful payments and quickly resolving problems. We are committed to making online bill payment quick, easy and hassle-free for consumers and for the financial institutions and data processors who serve them."
