Have you ever paid your bills online? Well I have. Some say online bill pay is beneficial, convenient, and faster. Others say it’s unsafe, and impersonal. How do you feel about online billing?
I’m always hearing about people having their bills directly taken out, or going online to pay bill with a credit card, debit card, or e-statements. I am very skeptical about paying my bills online. I know they say it’s safe, but I personally feel like once you have it on the internet anybody can find it and access it. Some people may only use it for your money, but others than can take it farther and steel your identity.
But my sister has always paid a good portion of her bills online and she has never run into a problem with theft. It’s one less step she says. Instead of having to write out the check, and mail it in, it come directly out of your account in a very short process.
What do you find better, paying your bills online or doing it the old fashion way writing out a check and sending it through the mail? On top of that I feel like online bill pay is just one more process that eliminates interactions between people. I’m still undecided if it’s actually safe or not, but I slowly am starting to do it more.
Do it. I love online bill pay and its makes my life wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried on-line bill paying so I can't say either way if I like it or not. But I know I wouldn't do automatic bill paying, I like to know exactly what is going into and out of my account at a given time. I feel like I would lose track and forget to write it down if it was automatic.
ReplyDeleteI like the old-fashioned writing a check and sending it off.
