Sizing Consumer E-Bill Adoption in the United States
U.S. consumers paid 28% of all bills in 2016 without receiving a paper statement.
Boston, June 8, 2017 – Electronic billing (e-bill) enables consumers to receive electronic bills via the billers’ websites and mobile apps, retrieve them from their email inboxes, or view them at banks’ websites and mobile or tablet apps. This capability satisfies consumers by further simplifying their financial lives. Can it also result in savings and a reduction in bill processing for both billers and banks?
This research sizes e-bill volume, breaks down e-bill adoption by format and by look-up source, and uncovers insights into how all generations—seniors, baby boomers, Generation Xers, and millennials—are adopting e-bills across the 29 most popular consumer bill categories. It is based on an online Q3 2016 Aite Group survey of 2,429 U.S. consumers who indicate that they are involved in paying most or all of the bills in their households.
