Take the easy way out to pay your utility bill with this app

Are you tired of running around multiple offices to pay your electricity bills, water supply bills, etc. and are looking for a more convenient way to pay these utility bills? Or, have you had to deal with late utility bill payment fines? Then, You should definitely try out mobile banking apps.

With mobile banking apps you can pay all of your utility bills just sitting at your home or anywhere else and that too within a few minutes. This saves you a lot of time and energy, which you might have wasted in going to the offices of the different utilities. But the area where the mobile banking apps shine is timely utility bill payments. They offer a variety of options for you on this front. For example in HDFC bank’s HDFC ASO Mobile Banking app, if you want, you can set reminders and notifications through the app that will remind you on the desired time and date to pay utility bills. If you want even something more convenient then you can also issue standing instructions through the app to pay your utility bills at a specific date and time.

Additionally mobile banking apps like Axis bank’s Axis Mobile app for example, help you by maintaining an electronic history of all transactions and that include your utility bill payments too. This helps you do two things: first it keeps all your payment details in one place so that you can review and track them as and when you like; second, it helps in eliminating the need of paper bills thus helping you do your part in conserving the environment.

As with all forms of electronic fund transfer systems there is a possible threat of hacking and information theft. But these banking apps are very secure and have counter measures in place for such threats. For example, the ICICI bank’s mobile banking app iMobile uses strong encryption on the data stored in the phone. Additionally all data being transmitted over the network is also encrypted by secure technologies like PKI, 256 bit SSL encryption, etc. Thus you do not have to worry about any kind of theft, either monetary or of personal data while paying your bills through these banking apps.

So say ‘no more’ to waiting in long queues, late payment fines and turning the house upside down to find your previous bills and start using mobile banking apps today itself to pay utility bills the easy way.
