It's Time For Online Bill Payment

from the actual-useful-stuff? dept

Now that all the free useless web stuff is going away, maybe people will really start to use the useful applications, like online bill payment. Anyway, that's what this article is suggesting. Apparently, people are finally starting to adopt online bill payment systems, and its about time.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    is this new?

    I've been giving phone/utility/recurring payment companies my credit card for years, and they deduct the monthly charge (after some waiting period) electronically.

    is the new cool thing that I can send in my credit card information through the web? that I can send my credit card information to another company, plus a fee, and they'll send my credit card information through the web to another collection of companies?

      Re: is this new?

      It's definitely not new... The idea, though, is that it's finally catching on. Companies have offered it for a long time, but not very many people were actually using it.
