Today, hardly anyone surprised by plastic bank card, but are still not aware that she It allows you to get rid of the problems with queues for payment of utility bills (if you're lucky, of course). But those who make "electronic" money, know exactly how they can "withdraw" from the system, payment and network, and telephone, electricity, and even with the rent in addition.
Russia
I would single out three main ways to pay utility bills without leaving home:
- His "home" internet bank
- "E-money"
- Universal payment systems (terminals)
Yes, I misspoke, and now POS terminals are within your browser window, but this - later. The main thing I would like to say at the beginning, that's what all the ways and have strengths and weaknesses, and should choose, just taking into account all of the factors in each case.
His "home" internet bank This is a good option if such a service is provided by your bank. Usually payments are made quickly and the Commission for them either non-existent or minimal. But it is clear - not universal.
"E-money" You can use the system of electronic money, for example, Webmoney or Yandex. Money to pay for almost anything. If you earn it, and them, for you it will obviously be the most convenient though. If you do not receive such payments, you can top up your balance in various ways, including transfer from your credit card account. But in this case, there is the inevitable overhead conversion, which are added to the regular fees for payment. Here I would recommend probably Yandex. Money as a reliable system that works not only in Moscow but also in the regions. Universal payment systems (terminals) If you just have platikovuyu card and you need to pay for something that you can not pay through online banking, but also you are unlucky enough to have a map partner bank e-money system, then do not despair, you can trigger the payment terminal to your home and pay almost anything with Visa or Mastercard. One of the most advanced in this case I would say e-Pos.
In any case, you should be prepared for the commission, but it is not so great and well worth the amenities that you have provided. The only thing that may confuse you: the need to share information about your credit card to a third party not knowing how she decency. Then I would advise everyone to connect SMS-notification service to be informed of transactions with your card. If such services your bank has not, feel free to change this bank.
Ukraine
In Ukraine, the easiest way to pay utility bills, internet, telephone, cable TV, insurance payments, and much more is the system Portmone.
For just 9.90 USD. per month the system is connected and active payment cards will allow you to stop going to the savings bank or any other bank for payment of utility bills. I currently pay my bills MICC, Will, Ukrtelecom, as well as mobile and internet from Beeline.
