NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 12/12/12 — , the leading, free and secure service that allows consumers to manage their bills and other personal accounts on desktop, tablet and mobile devices, today announced that it has introduced Custom Accounts, a new feature that allows customers to manage virtually any account on Manilla. The new, easy-to-use feature comes just in time for the arrival of the new year, a time when many consumers resolve to organize their finances and simplify their lives.
The addition of the new Custom Accounts feature offers customers the ability to add and manage payments to businesses or individuals who do not have an online payment system, such as small local and regional businesses and service providers. These also include personal accounts like rent, babysitters, dog walkers or the local dry cleaner, making Manilla-s account coverage for customers complete.
“Our customers have been asking for the ability to add their personal accounts to Manilla and we-re delivering,” said Jim Schinella, CEO of Manilla. “It is essential for us to provide a product that truly allows consumers to easily manage everything in their lives, all in one place. The Manilla Web and mobile apps are perfect for people who want to use 2013 to start taking control of their finances — and, ultimately, their lives.”
With the arrival of Custom Accounts comes a wealth of enhanced product developments, including the improvement of the account-linking process in the Web app, as well as the refinement of Manilla-s 4+ star customer-rated iOS mobile app. Recent updates include a new design across the entire interface, complete iPhone 5 support, and the ability to view Custom Accounts. Manilla will soon release additional updates to the iOS and Android apps that will allow for customers to not only view their Custom Accounts right from their phones, but also manage and edit them. Customers using the Manilla Android app currently have the ability to view Custom Accounts.
