Do you pay your bills on line or do you still write checks?

I also pay my utility bills online via my back account.Previously I had to go to a nearby bank and stand and wait in the line for my turn .This was sometimes very annoying as I got late for other things.Now it takes about 3-4 minutes each bill and that as well from my home :)

Hi Terri! I am still writing checks to pay my bills. My husband works for the Postal Service and I try to keep giving all of their workers as much service as possible to help with job security. Have a great day! SheliaLee

like you i had given a bank mandate to pay my bills but they impose a penalty if for some reason there is insufficient funds,i pay by cheque now

I do some online and some by snail mail. I guess for me I still like to write out the check so I have evidence that I actually paid them! Old fashioned here!

I don't know if I'm just old-fashioned, but for some reason I still trust the mailman more than the internet. I knew someone who paid their bill online and it didn't make it on time even though she did it several days before the due date, mine ALWAYS makes it in 2-3 days thru the mail. I do have a few that come directly out of my bank, but most are by check.

I would love to pay my bills on line because I feel that it is safer, quicker and cheaper. My parents won't let me pay them on line because they want to see if I paid my credit card bills properly. I always write out checks and send the statement back in the mail. The only time when I am allowed to pay my bills on line is when the bill statements are not mailed out to me in time.

We pay most of our bills online now. You are right, it is the quickest and easiest way to do it. There are still a few that have to be paid with a check though, like our rent for example.

I still write checks out to pay my bills. I know I am behind the times. I mean, even my parents pay the bills they can online instead of sending in a check. But even though sites are mostly secure, I like to have the paper statement in my hand, and be able to go from there.

I love paying bills online - not everyone has it available but if I can I do it. No worrying about stamps and how long/if it will get to the right person. I know right then and there it's there because it comes direct out of my checking account which I also check online regularly.

I still do both. Online except for the few who do not offer an online option.

I pay my bills online, as you have said, it is a lot cheaper and more convenient. Also with fund transfers, going to the bank will cost me a little extra for bank charges, but when I do it online I will not be charged. So I believe banking online is a much better choice.

I pay my bills online...I think it is easier and quicker.

I pay my bills by checks or you may say that i have never used online paying, so i dont know if it is nice.

ealrier it took too much time to pay bills with ur check going to the bill counter waiting for ur trun to come but nowadays things have changed nowdays i stand in the front of thel line with my check hahah not jokin i go ealry in the morning without brushing to pa the bill yes i agree that w can pay bills through net but here in india noithin has changed after that bcz the most of times the websites and put of service so i have to go there in the office.

i pay all my bills online... i never write a check before and i don't have a checkbook as well... paying bills online is so much faster and more convenient... thanks to the invention of internet that we are able to do it now...

i pay my bills online. i find it very convenient and i also don't have to queue at banks or other payment centers. no hassle of writing checks.

I do both... some of the payment are not avaible online so i have to write the check. I like online bill pay better than anything else. you know fast and easy...

I recently switched to paying all my bills on line as well as doing all my banking online. I was a bit nervous putting so much personal data onto my computer and still am so afraid of identity theft for it'd ruin me. Still i have to admit it is so very much easier and faster. The whole process of writing checks,purchasing stamps and then remembering to mail them....how did i do it for so long?

I write checks and send them in the mail but online payment systems are very convenient and I probably will switch back to said payment systems in the future. Thanks for starting this topic! It is a great conversation piece.

I don't pay online or have a checkbook. Everything is cash or money order for me.
