BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, today announced that Walmart
(NYSE: WMT) is expanding its offer of the CheckFreePay®
walk-in bill payment service from Fiserv to become an authorized walk-in
bill payment center for multiple leading California utilities. Customers
can now visit a Walmart store to pay a bill from Pacific Gas & Electric
Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Southern California
Gas Company (SoCalGas).
Walmart is an authorized payment center for PG&E, SDG&E and SoCalGas
meaning customers can pay bills from these companies without incurring a
convenience fee. To pay a bill, customers should bring their bill stub
to a participating Walmart MoneyCenter or customer service desk.
Payments can be made using cash or a PIN-based debit card. Payments are
processed through the CheckFreePay bill payment service from Fiserv
offered by Walmart, and are sent electronically to the utility on the
same business day.
Walmart already offers customers the ability to pay more than 2,500
bills using CheckFreePay. In most cases, customers can choose from
either next business day or three business day delivery options.
"Consumers appreciate the convenience of paying bills at Walmart, while
making everyday purchases," said Jardon Bouska, division president,
Biller Solutions, Fiserv. "Walmart's new service helps thousands of
Californians who prefer to make cash payments in person, and facilitates
quick and easy payments."
The PG&E service territory represents Northern California. It extends
from Eureka in the North to Bakersfield in the South and from the
Pacific Ocean to the Sierra Nevada. SDG&E services customers in San
Diego and southern Orange counties. The service territory for SoCalGas
encompasses Central and Southern California, from Visalia to the Mexican
border.
Fiserv is the largest processor of walk-in payments in the U.S.,
enabling consumers to pay more than 2,500 bills at more than 20,000
retail locations nationwide. CheckFreePay agents include
supermarkets, drugstores and convenience stores, along with hundreds of
independent and chain store retailers. The secure electronic payments
