It also doesn't (seem to) take into account how prevalent credit cards as a method of payment have become - for whatever reason, most of the companies I owe money to would rather I let them debit my credit card each month (and pay CC transaction fees) than send me a bill and let me pay them with online bill pay. My credit card bill is astronomical every month, but that's because all my bills are on it, and I just pay the balance every month.
- manigandham 4y agoOnline bill pay (initiated on your end) is usually just paper checks and occasionally ACH transfers, both of which take time and are annoying to deal with, so of course they don’t like it.
