Easy way to pay your vendors, staff or individuals

I receive checks from various companies every month for our feeds and I noticed some of them manually write checks and hand write out envelopes. There is a easier way, it's called Bill Pay and it's free with almost every bank. Some people may not know about it and it's so nice, so I wanted to share this with everyone.

I login to my banks website, I click on BillPay, I select the company I want to pay or individual(s) I have entered, how much to pay, what date and the bank sends out the check.

This will save you money on stamps and envelopes, it also looks very professional. I pay my payroll and the accountant this way, saves me a ton of time. What use to take me 30 minutes to pay bills now takes like 2 minutes.

I have been doing this for the past 2 years and it's great, I am starting to see other companies I receive checks from doing it as well now. Works out great!

I think it only works within the US. If you are sending a check outside of the US you will have to do it manually.

...and if you're not in the US you have to do things differently.

as for hand-written envelops - there are things called (desktop) printers. They take things called labels.

and for signatures, there are things a called rubber-stamps!

just a few things.

Hi Paco,

What ever blows up your skirt and works best for you. I was just wanting to inform some people that may not be aware of it.

Personally I would rather hit a few keystrokes into bill pay and then into quickbooks then to deal with envelopes, labels, checks, stamps, ink and putting it in the mail.

I hear yah, I just wanted to add (that the option is not available to all).

As for my skirt, it's a mini, so it can't go any higher, unless I am taking it off by lifting it over my head.

I wasn't trying to be a troll, but if that is how my reply sounded, I am sorry.

Very true. Paper checks from a non-US bank deposited into a US account are often held for 10 days or more and usually require collection fees of $25 or more per check. US paper checks deposited into a non-US bank account meet the same fate -- a long time to clear, a hefty fee to deposit, and then usually receive a less-than-optimum currency exchange rate.

Be careful with signature stamps or "chops". Those should be protected from theft or abuse by non-authorized signers.

Oh tell me about my word!

Here in Australia had a nice fat check come in from Canda.

Upon depositing it I was penciled to learn it will be heald up to 6 weeks before being approved. :morning:

You would think that in a banking world where billions are transferred upon a click they could deposit a check earlier then 6 week lol
