How you benefit from doxoINSIGHTS analysis of the U.S. bill pay market
doxoINSIGHTS offers a unique, aggregate, anonymized view into America’s cost of bills that hasn’t been available before:
- The extremely large sample of over 10M payers gives a more accurate view than error-prone surveys, which have size, bias, and accuracy issues.
- With 6x more payable billers than any other network and 45 different bill categories, doxo tracks a much larger set of biller payments.
doxo data also includes the percentage of households that pay certain bill types, which is important for some bill types such as Alarm & Security, where not all households choose that service.
doxo sees what users actually pay, so it’s a more accurate view into the average cost to households. All data is anonymized and aggregated prior to analysis in order to protect doxo users’ privacy.
