I pay the majority of my bills on line. Most of our utilities have on site bill payment. I prefer to do this as it is quicker and no postage. It is also easier to keep track, for me that is.

I used to just check my accounts and transfer funds etc. on line but as of two weekends ago, I set up all my bills (the ones that I can) to be paid online. I was nervous about it too but now that I have everything set up, paid a few, it is so easy, and I don't have to worry about sending the payment out a week ahead etc... I think I'm going to like it. I just write on my bill the confirmation #, date paid and file.
I pay them online through our credit union. Costs $4.95 a month. I am thinking of cancelling the service now that we've paid everything off. We just have a few bills to pay (cable, phone etc..) now so I'm thinking of going back to writing checks. I just can't justify the $4.95 now without our gazillion credit card accounts.

Yep, I have an online bank account, no monthly fees and no fees to pay bills online either. I love it!! So easy and painless!

Yes I do this through the credit union-No fees at all. Now if I could just get them to come here and pick up the checks I want to deposit!!! LOL
