eBilling is a great way to make your life easier, and EBIDS provides a secure standard for you, the companies who bill you, and your financial institution. There are many good reasons to pay your bills online using EBIDS and your bank.

• Keep your private financial information secure.
  Your financial information stays where it is the safest: with your bank or credit union. By paying your bills online, you dramatically reduce the potential for your personal data to fall into the wrong hands. Identity thieves often use paper checks, bills, and statements to steal your identity. eBilling eliminates this possibility.
• Control the timing of your payments.
  Because you pay your bills online, you schedule the date for the bill to be paid, and avoid the potential uncertainty of mail delivery. And you’ll also save money by avoiding postage costs.
• Avoid remembering multiple usernames and passwords.
  With EBIDS, you’ll only need to know a single username and password to login to your bank or credit union’s online banking page. There’s no more hassle keeping track of multiple IDs and passwords.
• Conveniently access bill and payment history.
  Because EBIDS connects you to your billers through your financial institution, you can sign in to your online banking account just one time and then view and pay all your bills in minutes. Your bank or credit union also maintains a history of your bills and payments.
• Help the environment.
  eBilling with EBIDS reduces the amount of paper used and saves thousands of trees every year. It also reduces fuel consumption, which in turn reduces greenhouse gases and fuel emissions. With more trees and less greenhouse gases, the air is cleaner. eBilling also helps reduce water used in the production of paper.

Contact your financial institution and ask them about EBIDS. New banks and credit unions are participating in EBIDS every month, and once your bank is enrolled, they’ll provide you with the information you need to start paying bills through your online banking account.
