Abstract

Systems and methods that help ensure that assist a user with bill payment on a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. After receiving bill payment information from the user through the GUI, bill payments are aggregated over a given period of time, allowing a user to make a single payment to ensure that all appropriate bills and/or invoices are paid in a timely fashion. Through use of the GUI, a user can avoid the traditional hassle and stress of tracking and paying bills.
