I received a message from my bill service provider that Southwest Gas was unable to set up my account for E-bill. I already use my home PC to pay all my bills through services such as Quicken or Microsoft Money.
Electronic billing reduces the time it takes an average household to manage bills.
The average U.S. household receives 12-15 bills and statements every month. Retrieval from the mailbox, sorting, opening, analyzing, paying, mailing, and filing these by hand takes an average of 10 minutes per item. This process takes approximately 3 hours every month or 45 minutes every week. E-bill integrates well with personal financial management software programs such as Intuit's Quicken and Microsoft Money, which are used by more than 10 million households to manage personal finances. E-bill can be used to view and pay your bill, all online from the Internet.
