“Recent studies indicate that the majority of U.S. consumers still prefer to receive and pay bills through the regular mail. Of consumers who do not pay bills online, 80 percent say that they never plan to do so. Among consumers that do not receive electronic statements, 83 percent say they have no plans to switch away from paper. Consumer preference for paper, convenience of current methods, and privacy & security concerns are cited most frequently as the reasons for not adopting electronic presentment or payment.”
