NetBill
NetBill is a micropayment system. NetBill was acquired by CyberCash in the spring of 1997. CyberCash provides a vehicle for micropayments called CyberCoin as well as credit card and electronic checking schemes. CyberCoin payments are private but not anonymous. A key benefit of CyberCoin is that while the purchaser has a notational record of each purchase, the merchant does not know who the customer was. CyberCoin transactions are just like paying with real cash out of your pocket. The advantage NetBill offers to CyberCash is security. NetBill's security system is currently the most elaborate of all the current electronic cash systems and is being incorporated into the entire family of services offered by CyberCash.
