Quicken Uses Prism API to Add Thousands More Billers

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and MENLO PARK, Calif., Jan. 18, 2017 -- Quicken has chosen Prism API, a product of electronic money movement platform PayNearMe Inc., to power its bill presentment.

Using Prism’s RESTful API, Quicken can now provide customers with dependable, high quality, real-time transaction data and historical account information from significantly more billers than before. The Prism API also gives Quicken more billers in the categories that matter most to consumers, such as utilities, telecom providers and cable companies.

“The Prism API is extremely developer-friendly and the documentation is among the best I’ve seen,” said Daniel A. Chen, Quicken’s head of business development. “Prism API enables us to better support our customers by providing them with real-time insight into future cash-flow needs and upcoming bill amounts. It also enables us to monitor changes in a biller’s service that may affect our customers before they are noticed. The automated monitoring means we are able to troubleshoot more quickly than the manual process we were using before. The best part is, Quicken customers should not notice any change as a result of this integration, and in fact, many may find that previously unavailable billers are now viewable and trackable.”

“Financial services companies and institutions like Quicken seek out Prism API for its customizable, mobile-first bill presentment and fast payment processing capabilities,” said Kunal Kumar, senior vice president of Prism Platform Services. “No one else offers the number of billers we do. Our technology was built to integrate with existing products seamlessly. Financial services companies can now offer an enhanced bill and account-viewing experience and give users the ability to pay the largest portfolio of expedited billers in the U.S. in one integration. Developers love the ease of integration. Customers love the convenience and clarity it provides into their finances.”
