BURNABY, N.C. — TIO Networks Corp. and El Paso Electric have announced the launch of a self-serve automated bill-payment program for El Paso Electric's 351,000 customers. The solution will allow the utility's customers to pay their bills with cash at ZapLink-branded kiosks in Circle K convenience stores in El Paso, Texas.
"El Paso Electric welcomes the opportunity to bring convenience in the payment options we offer to our customers," said Kerry Lore, El Paso Electric vice president of administration.
According to a news release, beginning in April 2008, customers will be able to pay their bills in cash by entering account information directly on TIO's touchscreen interface.
"We're always happy to bring services and products into our stores that facilitate the needs of our customers," said Debbie Meyer, financial services manager of Circle K Stores Inc. "Our ZapLink program with TIO Networks Corp. continues to grow with important alliances such as El Paso Electric."
