The
Canadian bank Scotiabank is providing its online
customers with access to an electronic invoicing
service.
This service, called "epost", which
has been developed by EPO, a branch of the Canadian
national Post Office, enables customers to send
and receive mail, documents, account statements,
as well to pay 200 types of invoices from a
hundred or so Canadian companies. To have free
access to "epost", all Scotiabank
customers have to do is register on the bank's
web site.
In Canada, Scotiabank has 1.4 million online
customers who executed 152 million online transactions
in 2004, i.e. 42 % more than in 2003.
