Less than a month after being acquired by Intuit, Check has announced that it is expanding the beta program for its latest innovation: photo bill pay.

Starting this week, tens of thousands of Android users will have the opportunity to take Check’s photo bill pay technology for a trial run. The company hopes to have its photo bill pay solution available on all platforms by the end of the year.

How does Check’s photo bill pay work? Start with an Android smartphone, an installed Check app, and an unpaid bill. Users open the camera icon on the app, and then take a photo of the bill with their smartphone. The next screen provides the user with some basic information, as well as a scanned copy of the bill.

Did you think Check (FinovateSpring 2010) might miss a step in the days and weeks following its acquisition by Intuit?

Think again.

“(Direct Energy) understands how important the mobile experience is to customers’ satisfaction today. Partnering with Check complements Direct Energy’s great efforts to successfully attract and retain customers.”

It’s a little early for a June wedding. But as the saying goes, what fintech synergies bring together, let no man put asunder.

Intuit, a global fintech leader with a demonstrated affection for Finovate alums, has announced its acquisition of billpay innovator, Check. The Palo Alto-based startup formerly known as Pageonce has grown from its humble origins as a way for consumers to track their expenses to what is now a fully-grown digital wallet combining billpay, PFM, and mobile.

And a potentially critical component of Intuit’s consumer-facing personal finance initiative, as well. Intuit purchased fellow Finovate alum, Mint, in 2009, and it is believed that bringing Check’s technology into the mix will enhance the company’s ability to provide a more comprehensive PFM/billpay solution.

“We look forward to merging our talent, mobile mindset and spirit of innovation with Intuit to build products that delight consumers and become a part of their everyday financial lives.”
