Largest bill pay Directory in the nation continues its coverage expansion; reaches new milestone by delivering consumer bill payments in more than 90% of U.S. zip codes
doxo, the all-in-one web and mobile bill pay service, announced that its consumer-driven Directory has now surpassed over 100,000 service providers across the country that can be paid with a single login — coverage that’s now over six times larger than any other consumer bill pay network. To date, over five million consumers in large cities, small towns, and rural areas (across more than 90% of U.S. zip codes), have paid bills through the doxo payment network. As more and more consumers use doxo and pay bills in their local areas, doxo’s Directory continues to expand, growing over 50% over the past year alone.
“The comprehensive coverage of the doxo Directory provides the cornerstone for our payments innovation — enabling simpler payments, lower costs, better financial protections, and greater security to both consumers and billers alike, in markets that are too often underserved by traditional enterprise software and payment networks.”
The doxo Directory provides the most comprehensive coverage of household bill pay in the United States. Across the 45 service categories in doxo’s Directory, the strongest growth in payments over the past year was: Utilities, Cable & Internet and Alarm & Security grew by over 30%, multiple Health categories grew by over 50%, and Home Services and Transit grew by over 100%.
“Every single household in the U.S. pays a unique mix of billers on a regular basis. And while many of these billers are nationwide service providers, more than half are local and regional service providers specific to each household location. Our customer-driven approach to building out the doxo bill pay Directory is based on adding service providers identified and most relevant to our users in their individual local markets,” said Steve Shivers, doxo Co-founder and CEO. “The comprehensive coverage of the doxo Directory provides the cornerstone for our payments innovation — enabling simpler payments, lower costs, better financial protections, and greater security to both consumers and billers alike, in markets that are too often underserved by traditional enterprise software and payment networks.”
