Data From Hearst's Manilla Shows 63 Percent of Users Are "More On Time" With Fewer Late Charges Since Joining the Service

NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Mar 25, 2014) – In a recent survey from digital account management service Manilla.com (www.manilla.com), 63 percent of users said they are “more on time” since joining Manilla and have made fewer late payments. The free and secure Manilla digital organization service is addressing a growing consumer need for a digital solution that helps simplify their lives, and this data suggests that Manilla’s many free consumer features help active users save money, be more organized, and stay in control of their finances and household accounts.

“Manilla’s organizational features were built to help busy consumers save time and money,” said Jim Schinella, CEO of Manilla. “Manilla is a free and secure platform where users take control of their lives and can manage everything in one place, reducing the need to remember multiple passwords, download countless obscure apps, and have to manage old-fashioned paper bills and statements. The Manilla service does it all for you on mobile, tablet or Web.”

The March 2014 survey demonstrated that users also rely on Manilla to:

• Manage household, financial, utilities, healthcare accounts, subscriptions, daily deals and travel rewards programs (there are 4,000+ plus businesses on Manilla)
• Keep tabs on account balances
• Archive and retrieve documents with free storage of bills and statements
• Manage local business accounts via the Custom Accounts feature
• Share and co-manage bills with family using the new Bill Share feature

Businesses value partnering with Manilla because data and recent user surveys have consistently shown that Manilla users have higher advertising click-through rates and they more frequently visit linked company websites through Manilla. These customers also buy more and engage more often with the brand.

Manilla provides new opportunities for customer engagement, increased up-sell opportunities, and increased online account registrations in a highly targeted, paperless environment that is protected from competitive advertising.
