EBS eyes aviation market

E-Billing Solutions (EBS) plans to tap into the domestic Indian airline industry, particularly the low cost carriers, by introducing the software titled `EBS Merchant Account Services` for the aviation industry in January next year, says TravelBizMonitor.

The software will help detect online fraud, and the company`s online payment solutions also include online risk management.

In certain cases, the company detects frauds manually by viewing the photocopy of the credit card, whereas some fraud is identified through an inbuilt system.

Memphis Light Gas and Water has introduced a new service allowing customers to receive their bills online, says Memphis Business Journal.

The free online bill pay is part of the utility`s new My Account services programme. It is available to customers who enrol in eBilling, an electronic billing service that sends a notice of a bill rather than a printed bill.

More than 1 200 MLGW customers have signed up for electronic billing since the service was activated on 31 October.

Nacha, the electronic payments association, announced the formation of a new industry group focused on educating consumers and businesses about the environmental impact of electronic bills, according to Business Wire.

The Pay It Green Alliance was formed as a collaborative industry effort to raise awareness about this issue.

The alliance`s campaign will build online tools and resources, engage vertical markets, and convey messages through various media channels. The multi-pronged effort will provide educational materials for financial institutions and consumer billing companies.
