Thanks for the interesting information.
My bank still has a telephone banking bill pay option, which I use for
some items. Others like my land line use a credit card structure, still
on the phone. The one paper trail, with my land lord is still not a
check but a debit memo, sort of a money order but without a fee due to
my bank account type.

Hi,
I stopped writing checks in 2003. I was banking with Wells Fargo at the time.
Any checks which I needed to write I set up in Bill Pay. I added all the
details and the bank sent the check on the day I scheduled.
Now, I do not need to have any checks sent. All of my utilities and such either
have direct bank transfers, or they receive credit cards. In some cases, the
fee for using the credit card is lower than the benefits (points or cash back)
which I accrue from using the card.

Hi, Karen,
When I started doing online banking in 2000, I had to give the bank a list of
my payees,whether business or personal, and write in all the necessary
information including, address, telephone number, account number etc. These
payees appear in the payment section of the website and I pay whoever I need to
by putting in the amount and when it should be paid. After I submit this
information, I will receive confirmation numbers showing that these bills have
been paid.

May I ask how you use bill pay to send money to non businesses? granted you
may have a different definition for the term and your bank may allow for such
going to personal accounts. still, I am following this thread myself,
especially as, for me personally, paypal becomes more of a technical issue.

Once I get the rent deal worked out, I won't need to write checks. I even use
bill pay to send money to a friend. Bill pay and debit card is all I use.

I pay the majority of my bills with Bil Pay and if only my landlord would get
off his arse and inform RentCafe to stop using captchas on their web site, I
might not have to write any more checks.

Hi, Mary:
You may want to consider getting away from checks at least partly,
meaning to whatever extend might be comfortable for you.
I'm suggesting you consider the relatively new service called Zelle,
especially if your bank is already a member of Zelle.
If it is a member you probably already have a feature on your bank's
phone app to allow you to securely and accessibly send money to anyone
else via their email address or mobile phone number.
This isn't the way to pay your electric bill, but you've likely already
figured how to do that without paper, envelopes, and stamps, and the
local postal mailbox.
Here's a web link to learn more:
https://www.zellepay.com/
Personally, I almost never use paper checks anymore. Frankly, the growth
of person to person payment services like Zelle, as well as services to
pay merchants like Apple Pay, PayPal, or the good old plastic
credit/debit card likely explains why there's less and less support for
trying to make handling paper payments accessible.
Good luck!
Janina
