I thought MSN Bill Pay was the same as Checkfree. I am about to
changes banks because we are moving and will have the choice of $9.95
banking with Checkfree that includes bill paying, or $5.95 without
bill paying.
Can I use the latter option with the free MS Money Bill Pay and get
the same service? What happens when the free year is up? Do I have to
buy a new Money, or can I continue if I pay for it? If so, how much?
