Controlabill‘s bill payments system has won the startup an A$600,000 (Aus. dollars) grant from Commercialisation Australia.

Controlabill is an authority-management service that makes it easy for customers to manage all of their payment relationships in one place. Taking advantage of the efficiency of direct deposit, Controlabill operates independently of the billing process to save time and guarantee on-time payment.

The Commercialisation Australia grant will help the company conduct customer trials, develop sales and support resources, and enlist the services of an experienced CEO.

Commercialisation Australia provides funding and support for innovators as they bring their projects to market. Since January 2010, Commercialisation Australia has awarded more than A$140 million to 360 recipients.
