Fiserv has announced that "Walmart has implemented the CheckFreePay service from
Fiserv, enabling customers to pay bills in person at all Walmart locations in
the United States. Using the CheckFreePay service, customers can pay household
bills, such as their utility, mobile phone, auto loan, insurance and credit card
bills, at any one of the retailer?s 3,755 domestic locations, including Walmart
SuperCenters and Neighborhood Markets."
The
CheckFreePay service from Fiserv gives customers the ability to pay bills from
more than 2,500 companies. Payments can be made at the Walmart MoneyCenter or
customer service desk using cash or a pin-based debit card. Standard payments
are delivered to the biller within three business days, and NextDay payments are
delivered to the biller on the next business day. A receipt is provided as
assurance of payment.
"Walmart
is continually searching for new ways to save our customers money and improve
their daily lives," said Jane Thompson, president of Walmart Financial Services.
"Already, customers look to our stores as a place to make everyday purchases at
low prices. Offering our customers the convenience of walk-in bill payments at
Walmart helps them simplify the management of their day-to-day finances."

seamlessly to the billing company via Fiserv's secure electronic payment
network, which processes more than one billion transactions each year.
