PayPal partners with OB10

OB10, e-Invoicing network, has partnered with PayPal to help businesses streamline their invoicing and payment process, says Easier Business.

The partnership will enable organisations to optimise their invoice processes with OB10 and benefit from improved efficiency and transparency within the financial supply chain.

By partnering with PayPal, OB10 will make it possible for PDF invoices to incorporate a PayPal button, and on receipt of the invoice, customers simply click on the button to arrange payment, allowing users to receive fast and secure payments.

DoeLegal has released its latest e-billing solution, entitled doeBilling, which provides hosted solutions for corporate legal departments, according to PR Web.

Developed to provide greater control over its legal expenditures, doeBilling overcomes the challenges of knowing which matters are exceeding budgets and how to correctly allocate resources.

The system boasts a full suite of financial planning, reporting, and operational savings opportunities leading to a rapid ROI achieved in the first year, with significant savings thereafter.

Hsieh Tien-jen, acting chairman of the non-profit Consumers Foundation, in China, has criticised electronic billing at a press conference held in Taipei to unveil the results of a recent study by the foundation on the efficiency of the e-bill option, states The China Post.

Contrary to the stated purpose of the service to reduce paper consumption to protect the planet, Hsieh says printed paperwork is still required when e-bill users attempt to pay their credit card bills at convenience stores or in banks.

He suggests that credit card issuing banks could save between NT$26 million and NT$146 million per year with the e-bill service if they would stop mailing the bills to their customers. He urged banks to work out a genuine and secure means for their clients to pay their credit card bills without additional costs.
