Regulus Lowers Total Cost of Ownership, Improves Efficiency of Billing and Remittance Processes

Recent Gains Made Via Acquisition of J.P. Morgan Chase’s Retail Lockbox Business; Customers Benefit from Bank-Agnostic Stance and Economies of Scale

Washington, DC – August. 03, 2009 – Regulus Group, the premier provider of outsourced billing and payment services, is lowering the total cost of ownership and improving the efficiency of paper and electronic billing and remittance processes. The company recently bolstered its well-established leadership position by acquiring J.P. Morgan Chase’s national retail lockbox business and its volume of more than 700 million annual payments. Now, Regulus processes more than $300 billion in payments each year. It provides leaders in the financial services, healthcare, utility, telecom and other industries with tools to avoid the back-office strains, high infrastructure costs and hefty capital expenditures that are plaguing many companies.

Regulus offers a full suite of paper and electronic billing and payment processing solutions. The company’s Transactions˛ (T˛) suite consolidates all of these critical business functions with Regulus’ 14 years of deep domain expertise. Because Regulus meets the full spectrum of billing and remittance needs under one roof, the company is able to significantly streamline and modernize these activities. Almost all of Regulus’ transactions are cleared electronically, which speeds the payment process and integrates paper and electronic data streams.

Unlike banks, which must focus on boosting deposits and maintaining a wide variety of products and services, Regulus has a dedicated focus on providing its customers with best practices and technology solutions for improving billing and remittance processing. Because it is not constrained by the policies of any one financial institution and because it benefits from economies of scale as the largest non-banking billing provider, Regulus processes each transaction in ways that best meet the needs of each customer while also driving down costs.

“Banks are facing massive internal and external pressures that make it impossible for them to provide the best service,” said Ms. Kathy Hamburger, CEO and president of Regulus Group and 3i Infotech, North America. “For example, customers want to be able to pay however they want, whenever they want, but it’s expensive to support multichannel options. Regulus’ customers - which include more than 20 members of the Fortune 100 -- know that our agile structure and proven expertise allow us to lower their costs and better align their billing and remittance activities with their overall business objectives. This is critical, given the rapidly shifting business conditions we all face today.” 

Regulus is exhibiting its full suite of billing and payment processing solutions in the Lockbox Pavilion at the TAWPI Annual Forum & Expo 2009, being held from August 2 to 5, 2009, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.
