BURNABY, British Columbia — TIO Networks Corp., along with Jackson Energy Authority, will launch a new self-serve automated bill payment service to allow the utility's cash-preferred customers to pay their bills via cash-accepting touchscreen ATMs at local retail stores that participate in the TIO network.
Commencing in winter 2007, Jackson Energy Authority customers can make self-service automated bill payments, in English or Spanish, through the network at the ATM. Payments are made by inserting cash directly into the terminal's bill acceptor. Once the cash is accepted, TIO uses an Internet link to ensure real-time posting to the customer's account.
The touchscreen ATMs will soon be available in more than 10 retail locations throughout the area. TIO Networks will apply a $2 convenience fee for the service.
