Manilla gives customers an automated, organized view of all their current account information, including bills, finances, travel rewards programs and subscriptions, reminders to pay bills and free lifetime storage of all their account statements, notices, offers and bills. Manilla is now rolling out closed beta access on an individual basis to those who request invitations at www.manilla.com.
Manilla currently supports accounts for four broad account categories: finance, household/bills, magazine subscriptions and travel rewards programs, and automatically links users to their accounts so they can pay bills, book travel, renew subscriptions and more. Consumers can access their accounts with nearly all national and major regional household brands within these four categories today, and additional businesses are being added daily.
Businesses can derive benefits through integrations with Manilla as well. Manilla offers businesses a simple way to efficiently communicate with consumers, increase customer engagement and reduce mailing costs. Manilla has premier relationships with Citi Cards and Comcast -- the first to take advantage of marketing the Manilla.com platform so that their customers have an easier way to manage their accounts paper-free and stay organized in a simple, user-friendly way.
