REMINDER...for Thursday (April 1)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT: Daylight Savings Time

On April 4, we lose an hour to daylight savings time, so why waste another couple of hours each month paying bills the old fashioned way? On average, people who pay and receive their bills online spends only 15 minutes per month paying bills instead of an average of two hours per month to pay bills offline -- equaling about 21 hours per year. That means over the course of a year consumers could get back to enjoying life by watching ten more movies, having three extra nights of sleep, running four marathons or taking an extra day of vacation.

Spring Cleaning/Get Your Financial House In Order

Online bill pay helps you get your financial house in order by allowing you to pay and receive bills online (from anywhere!), access historical data via the Internet, quickly check balances and access bill payment history instantly. In addition, online bill pay reduces the clutter of paperwork and eliminates the need to keep supplies of stamps and envelopes.
