For years, Kickstarter has flat out refused to offer certain services to either creators or backers. Kickstarter, in many ways, does a whole lot of nothing for how much money they end up with. KS takes their cut, gives the rest to the creation company and says, "Here, you figure it out". KS doesn't even separate the money by backer; they leave it for the creators to manage. That's why pledge management companies came about in the first place - to do the actual work that KS wouldn't do. People always complained when they didn't get their pledge because they never verified it with the pledge management company, but that was KS fault - not the creators.
That KS is now going to start offering this service tells me that they're starting to feel the pinch from companies that are covering the entire service, not just acting as a glorified advertisement platform.
