What Exactly Is Bill Pay, Anyway
Well, bill pay is essentially everything that it says it is. In other words, you can pay your bills using the Internet, without having to write checks or make trips to actually deliver the payments to your creditors. You simply set up your electricity bill, water bill, car payment, child’s gymnastics tuition, or any other payment that you need to make, and the service will take care of making these payments on your behalf. And you get all this for absolutely nothing from any credit union in Texas.

Why Austin Families Are Making the Switch
That’s the point. Austin is booming and growth means being busier than ever. Parents have soccer practices, work deadlines, and they are still cooking dinner. They have one less thing to worry about in Bill Pay. Just sign into the system, set your bills up and that is that. No more forgetting if you sent out the electric bill. Plus since you can keep track of everything in one spot, sticking to a budget is much easier.

Your Credit Union Mobile App Makes It Even Easier
This is where it gets really convenient. Most Texas credit unions now have a solid credit union mobile app that lets you manage your bill pay right from your phone.
