Achieves certification as BPAY View elect Bill Serv Provider

HOMEX - Sydney

Specialist business process outsourcing company, HPAL Limited (operating as HPA), has added to its suite of electronic billing services with its recent certification as a BPAY View (TM) Bill Service Provider.

HPA successfully achieved all technical requirements for
certification as a BPAY View Bill Service Provider in late May and was officially notified by BPAY.

"We congratulate HPA on their certification and look forward to
working with them on many successful BPAY View implementations in the
future," said General Manager BPAY, Andrew Arnott.

This official recognition builds upon HPA's established reputation as
an industry leader in the development of Electronic Bill Payment
(EBP) services, through its suite of BillsOnline Services, according
to HPA Managing Director, Terry Daly.

"HPA is setting the standard for electronic billing in Australia,
with the provision of electronic consolidator billing services,
biller direct services and email billing. These services combine
seamlessly with our paper and fax delivery outputs so that HPA
clients can deliver bills to their customers via their preferred
option - all from the same data stream.

"Certification as a BPAY View Bill Service Provider enables us to
provide yet another billing option and a competitive advantage for
our clients," he said.

The BPAY View certification resulted from HPA's successful
implementation of an electronic billing application for a
Queensland-based client, Ergon Energy.

HPA worked closely with Ergon Energy over several months to prepare
for the launch of its BPAY View application. This application
leveraged HPA's extensive experience with electronic bill
consolidation services.

As a result of the new service, Ergon Energy customers can now
register their preferences to receive and pay Ergon Energy bills
using BPAY View, via participating bank web sites.

"The BPAY View facility enables Ergon Energy to offer even greater
flexibility and choice to our customers in their bill payment
options. HPA consulted with our team to design, develop and implement
a solution that links in with our existing business processes and
enhances our customer offering," said John Cooling, e-Commerce
Manager for Ergon Energy.

"It's a great solution. The HPA team kept us informed and involved
at every step and it was a very smooth implementation process," he
said.

After a successful live testing period, this service is now available
and HPA is currently working with other clients to develop similar
BPAY View facilities.
