OneVu appoints commercial director

22nd March 2006 – OneVu, the UK’s first service which lets people see, track and pay all their bills from the familiar, secure environment of their online bank, has appointed Miles Quitmann, aged 41, as its new Commercial Director.

Miles is the co-founder of Wishstream Ltd, the first electronic bill presentation service provider to deliver an outsourced solution to the mid tier of European billers, which he steered through two and a half years of growth before successfully selling it to Microgen plc.

Miles has a strong entrepreneurial background specialising in successfully launching and growing niche businesses in the technology and service sectors. Away from the business world and during the 1990s, he completed a single-handed transatlantic voyage and broke a world record for sailing the furthest south in Antarctica. On his return, he conducted a series of motivational lectures around the UK, applying his experiences to the corporate world.

In his new role Miles will be responsible for building on the number of major billing organisations that have already been quick to sign up to the OneVu service, which will go live later this year. He will also be liaising with some of the UK's leading high street banks that support the service as part of their commitment to constantly improve the services they offer customers and to continue the growth of their online channels.

Miles Quitmann said: "Many billers have already recognised the benefits of billing their customers electronically and have made large investments in eBilling infrastructure. The challenge for the vast percentage of these companies is that they are not getting the adoption rates or take-up required for that investment to be cost effective. The OneVu service dramatically improves any investment already made in e-billing. Our service provides a wider and more secure channel which offers consumers convenient and safe access to multiple billers' websites through a single interface via their online bank. OneVu enables billing organisations to increase efficiency and improve customer service."

Editor's note:

OneVu is the UK's first service which lets people see, track and pay all their bills from the familiar, secure environment of their online bank. It is a joint venture between Voca (formerly BACS), which processes over 4 billion financial transactions each year, and Checkfree Corporation, the global leader in financial electronic commerce services and inventor of electronic billing
