Why I Switched to Online Bill Pay
Personally, I switched to online bill pay about two years ago and haven’t looked back! No more stamps, no more checks, and no more late fees. The convenience is amazing – I can pay my bill from anywhere using my smartphone.
The MyAccount features also let me track my energy usage, which has actually helped me lower my bills by identifying when I’m using the most energy. Who doesn’t want to save money?
