The ability to pay for utilities via the Internet depends on how actively the utility providers in a particular region use modern technologies. The most common option is to pay for utilities using a bank card on the website of a supplier or a single operator for accepting payments for utilities in favor of their different suppliers. On it you can also find out the current debt and payment history.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - bank card.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the website of a single payment operator or a specific utility provider. If it is possible to pay for them online, the relevant information and the website address are posted on the monthly utility bills, which are delivered to your mailbox.
Step 2
If there is no link to the form of payment for utilities on the main page of the site, it is better to look for it in the section intended for customers. As a rule, on the site you can not only pay for services, but also find out your current debt. Different operators and utility providers may use different authorization methods. Somewhere it is enough to enter the address, somewhere you may need a personal account (it must be indicated in every utility bill), somewhere - registration on the site using personal data and subsequent authorization with each request or payment.
Step 3
After specifying the amount of payment, go to the payment form. You will be required to enter your bank card details. This is a sixteen-digit number indicated on its front side, the name of the cardholder, its expiration date and a three-digit code (the last three digits on the back of the card), the payment amount. Some banks may require additional identification from you when making a payment. For example, through a one-time password sent by the bank via SMS. If authorization is successful and there is a sufficient balance on the card, the required amount will be debited from your account.
Step 4
After completing the payment, go to the operator's page (by clicking the appropriate button) and print, if possible, the page that opens, confirming that the transaction has been approved and all the payment details. Or at least save it to your computer. In case of dispute, you can also request confirmation of the payment from your bank.
