There are simple and effective ways to use technology as an advantage. For consumers, a simple and secure option to stay on top of recurring bills and payments is to use an online bill payment method.
Almost all utility companies, government agencies, businesses, retailers and even healthcare providers and dental offices will allow online payment of bills. Of course, these systems will require a credit or debit card, which can create a problem for many individuals.
It is possible to choose a prepaid card from a check cashing service, allowing the service to load your card and then make online bill payments. However, an easier option that eliminates one step in the process is to use the check cashing service to pay your bills directly.
Benefits of Electronic Bill Payment
The best check cashing services are designed to make payments of all types easy for their customers. They can make payments to major utility companies, cell phone providers, cable TV companies and even to credit card service providers.
Done instantaneously through secure websites, this is a fast, practical and effective way to avoid late or missed payments without the need to have a bank account or a credit or debit card.
Easily Record Keeping
Every bill payment completed online creates a record of payment. The check cashing service will provide customers with a printed receipt of the electronic bill payment from their system. Additionally, there will be a receipt number on the printed copy. This information can be kept in your records to verify payment electronically through the check cashing service.
With electronic bill payments to billers, there is also no risk of the payment getting lost in the mail, incorrectly completed or not entered into the system at the company in the correct time period to avoid a penalty.
