I hope I can talk to those of you that for whatever reason are not using your bank’s online services. Like you, it takes time for most people to adjust to this change in the way we do our banking, but like the rest of us, once you start utilizing all the features of online banking, you will wonder how you ever survived without it.
Probably the best feature is being able to know your exact bank balances at any time you wish. That and being able to pay your bills without the hassle of writing out a check, spending .48 for a stamp and making a trip to the mailbox. Instead, you enter the amount and date to pay, hit the appropriate command and you are done.
Generally, resistance to using the bill pay system is caused by security concerns which is a valid issue, that is, unless or until you have your mail stolen. Then the bill pay system with it’s security features and password protections look a lot better than they did before.
Your bank’s system can send you reminders, pay repeating bills automatically, provide you with statements electronically on line, and keep a record of all your payments without any effort from you, in a safe, secure system.
