When you live in our Alachua, Florida apartments, you will have your very own mailbox. It can be fun to receive mail from family and friends, but there are some pieces of mail no one takes pleasure in reading: bills. Fortunately for us, we live in the digital age, and most bills can now be paid online by way of a credit card, debit card, or electronic bank fund transfer.

Not all businesses have online bill payment programs, but to pay bills online from the companies that offer this service free of charge, try one of the following two methods:

• Visit the websites of companies you regularly receive bills from, and look to see if they offer an online bill pay program. Usually, an e-bill page will be clearly marked, but if you can’t find one, try calling the company to see if they offer online bill pay services.
• Visit the website of your bank or credit card company to pay bills directly through your banking account. An online bill pay feature should be clearly marked. Click on the e-bill page and follow the on-screen instructions.

There are a few things to keep in mind, however, when making the change to online bill paying. First, these transactions are better suited for people who are great at keeping track of their bills independently, and don’t need a reminder in the mail. Second, some companies charge an extra fee for online bill payment, so you may want to keep an eye out for this to avoid paying additional charges. And finally, make sure to check your accounts and online bill payment transactions regularly to make sure that everything is being paid properly and that your checking account balance has enough to clear the electronic payments.

Paying bills online can save you copious amounts of time that could be better spent enjoying one the fabulous amenities at One 51 Place. If you are interested in calling our Alachua, Florida apartments home, please give our leasing office a call or stop by today. We would love to give you a tour.
