WTF Paypal?

There is a new system being rolled out in Europe that does exactly this, but IIUC it's being rolled out in stages. First stage is things like utility bills, you get them in the mail, click pay.

OK OK, you get the bill in the inbox of your secure banking interface, and you click pay (or not). Happier?

You know he took over David Letterman's show, right?

Utility bills are really not a good application for a payment process like @ixvedeusi described, because
- advanced identity verification is kind of pointless: their product is delivered directly to your house; who but you would want to pay the bill for it?
- it's still more convenient to just put it on automatic payments and be done with it; all of my utility bills get paid automatically

TIL. I haven't watched Letterman in like a decade. Probably longer.

Right, but this is supposed to replace/improve the current automatic payments.

It's not an improvement. At least not from my perspective, the customer.
