"DriveTime is dedicated to providing an industry leading experience for our customers, including options and convenience for making payments," said Jon Ehlinger, DriveTime Spokesperson. "We chose the CheckFreePay walk-in bill payment service from Fiserv because of the expansive network of bill-pay locations, as well as the speed and security of payments the service facilitates."

"We know that one in five people prefer to pay their bills in person, often because they want to pay bills with cash and receive a receipt as an immediate proof of payment. DriveTime customers can now benefit from the convenience of paying their bills at the agent of their choice, and not only at a DriveTime location."
