PHOENIX, April 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BillingTree®, one of the nation's leading on-demand payment processors, exceeded predicted revenue growth during 2011. Highlights include a 33% increase in revenue and steady new customer growth, putting the company in good standing to exceed its predicted revenue growth of 25% for 2012. The figures were even more impressive because, unlike some third party payment processors, BillingTree adopted a Best Practice to pass savings resulting from the Durbin Amendment back to their clients.
