(using BPI Express Online)
Are you the one still standing on long queues to pay your monthly bills? Then this article is written for you.
Nowadays, we are always time-strapped, always running out of time to beat endless deadlines, from household chores to office schedules. We feel that our waking time is not enough to accomplish what is on our to-do list. We may not realize it but one of the major time-waster is paying our monthly bills. We spend a minimum of 1 hour to pay our bills including travel to the nearest payment center and queue time and even longer hours if the bills are due because we need to go to the merchant’s office to pay. Not only that we spend time, we also spend money on transportation and maybe food just to pay our bills.
Paying bills online and maximizing online facilities available allow us to productively use our time, with just a few clicks, bills are paid free of hassle. We can spend the time with friends and family or simply by ourselves.
