eBilling Saves Money
Want to save money and help reduce resource use and reduce carbon in the atmosphere? Try ebilling.
eBilling is the process of paying your bills online electronically.
Online bill payment saves you the cost of stamps and paper checks. Paying your bills online also reduces paper waste and transportation costs, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint of your payment.
As a consumer, paying 12 bills a month, you can save $75 a year in postage and checks by switching to eBilling. The reduced costs for businesses can be much larger.
The real savings comes in making bill payments green. According to the PayItGreen web site, if you pay an average of 12 bills by mail each month, switching to ebilling means in a year:
- 4.5 pounds of paper saved
- 43 gallons of wastewater prevented from discharging into lakes, streams and rivers
- 178 pounds of greenhouse gases avoided
For local consumers, Fifth Third, PNC, US Bank and National City all offer free online bill payment with online banking accounts. Businesses can contact their bank provider for more information on electronic bill payment.
