Benefits for you
- Reduce clutter. The average household receives approximately 19 bills and makes approximately seven payments in paper form each month.* All that paper can really pile up.
- Save time. The average consumer saves 2.5 minutes per bill when paying electronically instead of with a check.*
- Save money. The cost of postage and checks can add up to more than $100 per year.*
- Improve security. Consumers receiving electronic bills and statements and making payments electronically can maintain tighter control over accounts in real time. Almost 85% of identity theft cases are due to "offline" transactions such as lost checkbooks and stolen bills, statements, and check payments.*
Benefits for the environment
Every year, by switching to electronic bills, statements, and payments, the average household can:*
- Save 6.6 pounds of paper
- Avoid use of 4.5 gallons of gasoline to transport bills, statements, and payments
- Avoid the release of 63 gallons of wastewater into the environment
- Avoid producing 171 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, an impact that's equivalent to planting two trees and letting them grow for ten years
