The program is designed to be easy to use and affordable for clients of any size. It is rapidly becoming the billing option of choice, saving tens of thousands of dollars and enhancing customer service.
BCC Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) solution delivers an all-in-one billing and payment solution. Customers can receive email bill reminders, view statements online, manage e-billing settings, check balances and payment history, and make payments by credit card or e check.
