CHARLOTTE - PayStream Advisors, Inc. announces the release of Payment Without Presentment: Six Solutions to Supercharge Your Consumer Collections Strategy , a research report that profiles leading solutions for Consumer Collections Automation (CCA). In addition to highlighting the growing popularity of electronic payment options that do not involve electronic bill presentment (i.e. payment without presentment), the report provides specific information about vendors and solutions that corporate billing, collections, customer service, and marketing professionals can use to improve their organizations' consumer collections strategies. Payment Without Presentment includes profiles of the following solution providers: Bank One, BillMatrix, EDS, Fort Knox National Company, NCO Group, and Princeton eCom.

"Our research consistently shows that convenience and control drive consumers' choice of payment options," says PayStream Advisors Research Analyst John McCormick. "This has been fueling their migration from paper to electronic payment methods and channels. In fact, 60% of all consumer remittance payments will be electronic by 2008. Three quarters of these payments will not involve electronic bill presentment (EBPP). Payment Without Presentment will help billers exploring CCA to evaluate the merits of various solutions."
