Most online credit card and loan services offer their customers an Autopay feature. There are lots of people that use Autopay but there are many that don’t want to have anything to do with Autopay. It’s not for everyone but it does have its benefits.
What is Autopay
Autopay allows customers the option to automatically pay their bill on a certain date each month every month. For example a Citizens Bank customer can pay their car payment via- and have their payment scheduled for electronic debit from their checking account on the 15th of each month.
There is nothing else the customer has to do except make sure they have their loan payment amount in their bank account from drafting.
Won’t Forget To Pay
There are times in any given month that you get busy and forget due dates. If you forget to pay your mortgage payment then you will be hit with a late fee. The autopay features eliminates the prospect of this happening.
Each month like clockwork your monthly payment will be paid on that scheduled due date.
Credit Score Improvement
The positive effects of making on-time payments is your credit score will eventually go up. You won’t have to worry about your credit score at some point if you’re paying your bills on time and reducing debt. The Autopay feature helps a lot with this. Your payments will always be on time.
No More Paper Balance Statements
When you select to pay your bill automatically then you can shut off receiving paper statements in the mail to keep you updated. You can simply login to your account and view all of your information online. There’s a lot of costs that go into you receiving your bill each month so this can be eliminated immediately through the Autopay feature.
