While you may feel comfortable with this method after using it for many years, consider making a switch to online bill pay. Why? Online bill pay provides valuable advantages including these: • You Gain Security – When you have printed bills and envelopes with checks in your mailbox, sensitive information could be stolen and used for identity theft. But when you receive and pay bills electronically, you communicate with your bank, utility, or other company via a password-protected online portal that uses encryption and other security technologies to keep your information secure. • You Save Time and Money – Why waste time finding a bill, writing a check, looking for a stamp, and walking to the mailbox? With online bill pay, you can pay in seconds or have your bill paid automatically each month through an Auto Pay program. You also won’t have to buy as many postage stamps or checks when you use online bill pay. There are two categories of online bill pay available. You can pay companies individually via their website, such as what’s offered with Panora Fiber’s billing. Or you can authorize your bank or credit union to pay multiple bills from different companies using its website or mobile app. There’s no need to choose one or the other exclusively. You can use either online bill pay method or both, depending on what best suits your financial needs. Panora Fiber’s online Bill Pay service lets you receive your monthly bills from us by email and pay them online with your credit card or debit card. You also have the option to choose Auto Pay to have your payment automatically deducted from your chosen bank account each month, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to pay your bill. To get started with Bill Pay and set up your account, you’ll need a security code, which you can get by calling your Panora Fiber billing location: Panora at 641.755.2424 or Guthrie Center at 641.332.2000.
