            Savage, will be conducting a live chat to answer

            Today, with the exceptional growth of online bill pay as a
            convenient, simple and efficient tool to view and pay
            monthly bills, more consumers need to know and understand
            its purposes, uses and benefits. Terry Savage can

            gain control of their finances.

            Paying bills online is the fastest-growing Internet
            activity, and research shows that online bill presentment
            (viewing bills online in one location) is poised to follow
            the same accelerated growth path. By 2006, more than half
            of all U.S. households will view and pay at least one bill
            online.
