WILMINGTON, Del. - February 3, 2009 - Consumers began 2009 with new resolutions to manage spending, save money, and most importantly, lower debt.

"Now is the time for consumers to make changes to better their financial future," says Marwan Forzley, President and CEO of eBillme. "We want to help shoppers embrace cash and pay securely for online purchases. The Debt-Free Shopping Mall is a destination for online shoppers to get expert tips, gift ideas, deals and discounts and of course learn the benefits of debt free living."
eBillme is an easy-to-use alternative payment option for shopping online. When shoppers choose the option at checkout, their order is confirmed with an eBill sent to their e-mail address. Consumers simply pay the eBill through their online checking or savings account-the same way they pay utilities, loans, insurance, and other bills. The transaction occurs securely, bank to bank, with no personal or financial information required or transmitted over the Internet.
Because shoppers pay directly from their online bank account, they don't release any financial information online. This helps consumers manage their spending and debt, while better safeguarding themselves from identity theft and fraud risks. eBillme's buyer protection program takes security a step further. Provided at no cost to shoppers and retailers, the buyer protection features have the same or a better level of buyer protection than premium credit cards. Protection features include a return guarantee, price guarantee, in-transit protection, and fraud protection. Consumers can shop with confidence knowing their eBillme transaction is guaranteed and protected.
