In 2024, over 90% of consumers said they prefer to receive bills digitally—but nearly half of U.S. businesses still rely on paper mail.
Why? Because the transition from print to digital sounds more like a tech project than a business upgrade.
Take this real example: A growing utility company in the Midwest had been printing and mailing over 40,000 paper bills a month. The finance team dreaded the last week of the month—folding invoices, stuffing envelopes, printing return slips, manually processing payments. When they finally tried to switch to eBilling, their vendor gave them a six-month implementation timeline and a maze of compliance paperwork. So, they kept licking stamps.
That’s where Usio steps in with a simple question:
Why not do both—until you’re ready for digital all the way?
Usio’s eBilling solution gives you the fastest path from print-and-mail to digital billing, with both systems fully integrated. No rip-and-replace. No disruption. Just a modern way to bill, communicate, and get paid.
The New Way to Bill: Flexible, Fast, and Fully Integrated
At its core, eBilling is about more than sending an invoice—it’s about creating a smarter, faster revenue cycle. With Usio, you don’t have to choose between paper or email. You can start where you are and scale into full digital at your pace.
Here’s how it works:
- Paper bills for those who still want them
- Email invoices for digital adopters
- Online payment links embedded in both
- Custom portals for real-time visibility and self-service
- Secure invoice hosting for easy access and future retrieval
Yes, you read that right—Usio hosts your invoices, so customers and internal teams alike can easily view, download, and track billing history. No more digging through inboxes or calling support to get a copy. It’s self-serve simplicity, the way it should be.
From Bill to Paid—In Just a Few Clicks
Usio’s eBilling platform is built to make payments as easy as possible—for your customers and your team. Here’s how:
