Power company recently outsourced their payment system and now have to pay a fuckin’ fee to pay my goddamned bill. The only way to avoid that is autopay.
Further infuriating is I have to re-add my bank info to yet another third party system.
Fuck the modern world, man.
Oh, we can do that too, at least to varying degrees. Depends on the bank and what services they offer.
My bank will at least do what’s called “Bill Pay”. It’s (mostly) the equivalent of me telling the bank to write and mail a check to a company on my behalf. I don’t currently have that setup, but it is something I’m looking into. It’s been available for a long time, but years and years ago when I looked into it, only certain companies/utilities were supported by my bank.
