Use Automatic Bill Pay To Supercharge Your Bills
By using automatic bill pay, you:
* Save gas and postage on each trip that you would have spend going to the post office to buy stamps or mail bills.
* Streamline each step involved with paying your bills, and this pays off through reduced stress levels and worry about getting everything paid on time.
* Reduce identity theft risk. Most identity theft occurs as a result of stolen statements, either left in the home, or stolen from the mail box or trash.
* Reduce Paper statement waste. Paper statements contribute to millions of pounds of paper usage each year. Imagine the benefit if we stopped using paper resources for this purpose.
* Save time. Once you get bill payment set up, you can make the same payment happen automatically every month. This means you don’t have to think about it or worry if you paid on time.
* Make it nearly impossible to make late payments unless you alter the bill payment schedule after you have already set it up. This makes it easier to have better credit and reduces late fees.
These are some compelling reasons for me. I really like the freedom of having my bills being paid on time every month in the background. I never liked the drudgery of writing checks, putting stamps on envelopes and going to the post office to wait in line.
