February 18, 2009
BRITISH COLUMBIA, Canada — TIO Networks Corp., a provider of multi-channel bill payment processing, has partnered with H-E-B, a Texas retailer, to implement its self-service bill payment technology at 26 participating H-E-B stores located throughout Texas.
H-E-B will the first Texas-based retailer to implement TIO's bill payment services.
Plans are to deploy the technology by early spring 2009. Store customers will be able to make expedited bill payments on their wireless, utility and cable accounts via self-service kiosks. They will also be able to purchase prepaid products and services and reload prepaid debit cards. These kiosks will be located adjacent to or nearby H-E-B's business centers to help alleviate payment traffic during peak payment periods.
"With these kiosks, we hope to provide our customers with a convenient service that enhances their one-stop shopping experience in our stores," said Winell Herron, H-E-B group vice president of public affairs and diversity.
