Abstract

A method and a system for performing an online payment related activity using a browser application. The browser application interfaces a bill pay website with one or more biller websites to which the online payment needs to be made. When a user logs-in to the bill pay website, the browser application is activated. The user then selects a biller from a list of billers pre-stored at the bill pay website. The browser application automatically navigates the user to a biller website of the selected biller, while concurrently maintaining a communication link to the bill pay website. The browser application then enters payment information on the one or more payment related web pages displayed at the biller website. After the online payment related activity is completed, and the user is navigated back to the bill pay website without the need for a user input.
