Kmart customers can now stop into their nearest location and pay for more than just their housewares. The company recently launched its in-store bill pay program which will allow consumers to pay their auto loan at any Kmart store nationwide.
Kmart is offering these capabilities through the CheckFreePay walk-in bill payment service from Fiserv. In addition to paying auto loans, customers can also pay their electric, gas and cable bills from more than 3,000 companies.
Through Kmart’s new bill pay program, customers are able to pay thousands of bills for $1.50 or less per transaction with cash or a PIN-based debit card. Customers bring their bill stub and payment to any Kmart customer service desk, and the payment will be sent to the biller by the next day, if processed before 7 p.m. EST.
“We are continuously seeking convenient ways to help customers manage their personal finances. The debut of Kmart’s in-store bill pay program does just that – it gives our customers access to a fast and convenient way to pay bills and manage their finances,” said Keith Brand, DVP Alternative Financial Services for Kmart in a statement. “By providing services like this, we hope to make shopping at Kmart a more satisfying experience.”
The CheckFree Pay from Fiserv is giving Kmart customers access to a trusted service that enables efficient electronic delivery of their payments. For customers who prefer to pay their bills in person and receive a receipt of the transaction, the option provides a secure way of doing so, noted Vice President of CheckFreePay and Fiserv Sean Dingwall.
