SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--doxo, the innovative web and mobile bill pay service, today released findings from its recent study on doxoPLUS, the subscription based service that enables free all-in-one bill payment from a user’s bank account, along with five essential financial protections for $4.99 per month. doxoPLUS arose from customer feedback around the greatest anxieties tied to bill pay, particularly concerns about protecting personal information online, reducing fraud, and saving money on hidden overdraft or late fees. Findings from the study show that 9 in 10 users (89%) said they feel more protected using doxoPLUS, and would rate the product 4.6 stars out of 5, on average.
“doxo aims to empower consumers to improve their financial health and accomplish their financial goals by making it easier than ever to stay on top of bills,” said Jim Kreyenhagen, doxo’s VP of Marketing and Consumer Services. “We heard from our customers that security, credit protection, bank fees, and late payment penalties are major concerns. doxoPLUS delivers on our promise to reduce the stress and hassle of staying on top of bills, helping protect consumers from hidden bill pay costs that can otherwise cost consumers $925 on average each year.”
doxo’s recent study revealed that the majority (75%) of doxoPLUS customers use the service to avoid sharing their payment information across multiple biller websites, followed by those (41%) who wanted credit score and identity theft protection. When asked how they feel about the benefits of the product, doxoPLUS users said:
- 89% feel more protected
- 87% feel more organized and in control
- 85% are less worried about identity theft
- 80% have fewer late fees
- 78% save money on my monthly bills
- 76% feel better about improving their credit score
- 70% have improved their financial health
- 69% have fewer overdrafts at the bank
Statements revealed in the survey indicate an overwhelmingly positive response, with customers experiencing a simplified and more secure bill pay process. The benefits have shown to directly improve doxoPLUS user credit scores and financial health, as well as eliminate anxieties surrounding delivery fees and late fees.
The Five Essential doxoPLUS Bill Pay Protections:
