I pay only a few bills online - car insurance, comcast, sometimes my TMobile bill. Do you think it's a good idea? Do you feel that it's secure? Which bills do you pay online? Do you like the convenience? I DO!

I love on line bill paying. I pay as many of my bills as I can. It saves on stamps, lets the $ stay in your bank account longer cause you can wait til the very last minute. I do have one mortgage lender that charges a $10 fee for paying them on line. What a rip. They also charge $10 to make a payment to them over the phone. So, needless to say, I always pay this one by mail. I believe the system is secure. I've never had anything bad happen to me.

Hello genihanna I don't pay any of my bills online as the bank account have doesn't allow me to but I pay alot of bills on direct debit so it goes directly from my account. Othere bills I pay at the bank.

I pay nearly all my monthly bills online. Can't really remember the last time I actually went to a store to pay (except my prepaid mobile phone, but since I switched to postpaid I no longer have to do so). I usually pay my Internet, life insurance, and student loan bills online. Any other misc items I'll pay online if I can do it, especially if there is an online version. The only exception is my gym fees, because they don't do online banking. -_-"

I pay all our bills through online banking, even our local Co-op bill! I think that when it comes to online security banks must have to be the best of the best. I think it's completely safe and I can't imagine having to go into the bank or mailing cheques to pay our bills. I use my credit card for everything and just pay it off as I go so I'll make 3 or 4 payments a month just on that one bill, now THAT would be a pain in the butt without online banking!

I've only started paying for my credit card online now. I would love to pay all my bills online. It would definitely save me time to and fro, and time standing in queues. I think they are quite secure. I wouldn't want to pay online for things outside our normal payments, like electricity, water, tax, etc.

i do them and i find them extremely convenient. i pay my car installment online, credit card bills, phone bills, road taxes, insurance, online shopping etc. it save me a lot of time and i can do them at my own timing and convenience. it save me time to queue up and driving around many places just to get all these payments done monthly and i am really glad they have the online services. i think it is secure or at least the convenience of using them far outweight the cons of chances of account being hacked
