It's 3rd August here already. It's Monday, and office are back in business after holiday few days ago. Today is the day to settle bills and loans for this month. But, since the Pandemic, most people suggest to pay bills and loans through online banking. Paying at the counter will take quite longer because of the distancing and long queue. But we still going to pay the bills at the counter though. Only my monthly education loan was paid through online banking. As soon as I get up I settle it this month before I forget. How do you pay your bills and/or loans? Through counter, online banking, paypal or others? Stay safe, take care. Adie, August 2020

Well most places in America has been doing bills online for several years. There are some that actually still do in store but things like tv, electronics, internet, and other utilities people pay online because it’s easier and some of those locations are kind of far away. We pay as many online as we can. We just don’t do automatic monthly payments so they don’t take it out when we don’t want them to.

That's great. Though here my parents still go to counter and pay. Maybe it's convenient for them.

We use online banking to pay our bills. The problem now is the annual registration of the car that there is a long line for the appointment. No online scheduling.

@Adie04 Loans are necessary for many people for homes, cars, vacations, etc..... It's the American way of life for most. Many people cant's save up enough money to pay for things like that at once.
