• · An innovative tool for safer, more efficient payments

Milan, July 21st2014 - Intesa Sanpaolo is launching CBILL, an innovative tool designed to simplify online payments for personal banking customers and businesses.

The new service is a simple, effective, safe way for users to pay and check their bills online. CBILL is a complete solution covering the entire payment process, from bill issuing to payment reconciliation. It also provides an innovative, advanced service for businesses, enabling multi-bank applications and optimising real time management for expenditure.

CBILL streamlines the planning process for payments, giving users an online payment schedule, paper-free billing and access to a payment reminder. The service is aimed at the personal banking and business sectors, providing a multi-channel approach to bill paying (via Home Banking, ATMs, mobiles, Corporate Banking, etc.), as well as public and private creditors of all sizes, enabling them to bill customers and receive automatic online payments through a multi-channel, multi-bank application. Italy's largest power company Enel was one of the first to adopt the new service and make it available to its customer base.

CBILL is a multi-bank, multi-channel payment platform set up by member banks of the CBI (Customer to Business Interaction) Consortium to offere-billingservices with EBPP (Electronic Billing Presentation and Payment) functions.
