PageOnce Sets Out for Mobile Payments Domination

Pageonce, the popular daily finance service for mobile devices, today launched a mobile bill pay service that gives consumers remote control over when and how they pay their bills. Pageonce lets users view all their bills and pay from any account, all in one simple app anytime, anywhere.

The award-winning Pageonce Money & Bills already lets users automatically track all sorts of bills — from rent and mortgage, utilities, and cellphone to credit cards — and alerts them when a bill is due.  Now Pageonce gives users the option to pay immediately from their choice of accounts with a few taps on their smartphone.  It’s a feature we’ve been anticipating from the Pageonce service, and it really helps the company complete its circle.  Pageonce makes paper bills, checks and stamps, and logging into several different websites for online bill pay obsolete, helping users save time and avoid annoying late and overdraft fees.

“Pageonce has been helping millions of users stay on top of all their money and bills through a simple and smart mobile interface,” said Guy Goldstein, Pageonce Founder and CEO. “Now we’re empowering people to DO their finances directly from their smartphone. Paying bills is our first step in building the Wallet of the Future.”

Simple, Smart and Secure.

Pageonce collects all the information about a user’s bills, including payment due date, amount due and itemized details, and presents them in a simple, easy-to-read format on a smartphone.  Before a bill is due, users will get an alert that allows them to pay now in just three steps:

1)    Select how to pay

2)    Enter the amount

3)    Tap Pay
Once the transaction is done, the user will get a receipt and an e-mail telling them that the payment had been sent.  It will be followed by a confirmation message that the payment had been received.  And just like with bank-powered bill payments, Pageonce transactions are secure.  The payment app has its own PIN code to which designates access from one specific mobile device, and it also has the ability to block mobile access from the web if the device gets lost or stolen.  And in many ways, using Pageonce for bill pay is easier than your bank–it’s more centralized, designed for easy viewing and works across multiple accounts.

“Consumers are hungry for that combination of convenience and control that will enable them to pay bills more easily, more quickly, and with more control,” said Mark Schwanhausser, Senior Analyst, Multichannel Financial Services, Javelin Strategy & Research. “That means being able to review the details of a bill, not just the amount due. That means having the ability to choose when and how to pay, whether it’s from a “pay now” checking account or a “pay later” credit card that earns rewards. And, increasingly, it means being able to pay bills via mobile device whenever and wherever you are.”

Pageonce recently concluded a successful beta testing program that included nearly 1,000 best testers paying thousands of bills.  It’s getting deeper into a market that’s really taken to mobile devices, enabling personal finance services to flourish.  This latest development solidifies Pageonce’s goals around becoming a personal finance tool, a direction the company has settled into this past year.

Pageonce Money & Bills with bill pay is available now on the iPhone and Android for $4.99 per month.

Pageonce recently raised $15 million in funding, bringing their total raised capital to $25 million.  And they already have a reported five million registered users.   Their user base grew by 250% and their staff grew by 67% in just two quarters.  The boom in Pageonce’s user base can be attributed to the growth in mobile device sales and use.  Everything in this world is fast-paced and on the go.  Apps like Pageonce Money & Bills make people’s lives easy, making an appeal to end users with its app’s simplicity and usability.
