Archive for the ‘Paper Vs Electronic Billing’ Category

Reader Mike sent us a private message asking if I had any rationale to aid him overcome his reticence in utilizing electronic billing, giving up his beloved paper bills which are mailed with the mailbox. He likes the concept of e-billing, but has strong reservations he desires to overcome. He’s wondering what forms of billing solutions my readers use, without getting environmental rhetoric. I have some thoughts for myself, but others might have more and better ideas.

First, ok, i’ll review the arguments Mike has given for likely to electronic billing:

reduces costs to businesses
reduces the strain on resources and pollution
wants to work with modern technology with this

Many of the reasons I like electronic billing over paper billing include:

less likely to lose e-bills
electronic filing of bills i really have ready use of them, no matter where I’m (I have only a notebook computer)
less paper to produce, in increasingly outdated filing cabinets
less paper to recycle, by means of envelopes and stuffers
fewer paper cuts from opening papers
possibly higher security of non-public information
efficiency increase by lacking to address the bill normally
pay bills while on the road, not missing exactly what the mailbox is holding personally
reduced bank fees for electronic processing
money held in not buying checks as frequently
reduced postage costs
