Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, there is one thing that never changed — our bills. Yes, like the passing of time, due dates are always coming and we look forward to them with dread. That means our hard-earned money would go to utilities, mortgage, car loan payments, children’s education, and everything in between. We cannot avoid our dues but we can somehow manage our monthly bills better and with more efficiency. That way, we do not miss a due date and pay penalty charges.
Manage Your Monthly Bills More Efficiently
Whether you’re locked at home, or on the go for work and other errands, managing your monthly bills is still one of the burdens we have to remember amid our erratic days. It may sound simple, but sometimes, the most straightforward things tend to have its complications, too.
Nevertheless, sometimes, all we need is a little reminder. Staying on track with our monthly bills may only need two things ─ evidently some funds, but most importantly, your commitment.
Fortunately, GCash, the leading e-wallet in the country, is constantly finding ways to let us conveniently pay online in just a few taps. Using our mobile devices, we can already effectively manage your monthly bills with ease. At present, GCash now has a pool of 600 billers to choose from ─ including utilities, credit cards, transportation, and even school tuition. Paying your bills has never been this easier.
To enjoy this safe and seamless feature, simply log in to your GCash account. Then choose the “Pay Bills” option, click on the biller, and proceed to payment or wait for your queue. No need to wait in line ─ settle your bills quickly and safely anytime, anywhere.
With that, check out these tips in order to manage your monthly bills better.
Create a checklist of your monthly bills.
List down all your monthly bills and settle each one consistently and on time. The checklist can also be used to control unnecessary spending if you’re on a tight family budget. Your monthly bills may include rent or mortgage, home utilities, telecommunications, credit card, insurance, and personal loans. Several billers have been added to the GCash list of billers, such as:
- Bank of Commerce
- Singlife
- Asian Vision Cable
- Globe
- Meralco
- Maynilad
- Sky Cable
- and many more
Be aware of your monthly expenses.
Aside from your monthly bills, list down your expenses for the coming months. Your expenses may consist of clothing, transportation or gasoline allowance, healthcare, entertainment, and dining out. Many of these expenses can be paid through the app with Autosweep RFID and Easytrip RFID. Metrobank, BDO, BPI, and CitiBank credit card statements are also easy for you to settle through GCash.
Always be mindful of your earnings.
After tallying your bills and expenses, compare them with how much you gain on a monthly basis. Your income must cover both of them ─ with an extra allotment for emergency expenditures. You can use GCredit as an available payment option for your utility bills and even for loading RFID accounts, real estate, and school payment dues.
If you have loans, GCash also lets you immediately add this to your monthly settlements with Home Credit, Tala, AppendPay, Billease, Unionbank Quickloans, City Savings Bank, and Malayan Bank. These are now available on the app.
Thoroughly read your billing statements.
Be sure to understand your billing statement to avoid certain fees that could affect your overall monthly expenses. Also, thoroughly check each bill to make sure you are charged correctly. Don’t forget, these also include your essential government dues such as Pag-IBIG, NBI, SSS – PRN. By the way, Social Housing Finance and Phil Guarantee have been added to the list of billers.
Mark your calendar for due dates.
Last, but definitely not least, remember to always pay your bills on time using the calendar on your mobile phone or the various available apps online. On the GCash app, you can also use the Save Biller feature which allows you to set reminders for upcoming payments.
It’s understandable that we often forget our monthly dues, so it’s good to have a constant reminder by marking or setting an alarm before the due date. That way, we will never miss a payment and suffer the penalties.
Are you still in a rush to settle your bills? Don’t fret because GCash has got you covered from utilities to school tuition fees. All you need to do is follow the easy tricks above in order to manage your monthly bills better.
