Pay Your Bills Without The Hassles
Have you ever had to pay the electricity bill but were not allowed to leave the house due to quarantine? Or have you ever had to buy an electricity token that had run out, but it was raining hard outside?
In the past, when we had to pay electricity bills or water bills, we had to go to the post office or bank or PPOB payment counters. Just to pay the bill we must queue, must take the time, must use public transportation. It’s very complicated just to pay the bill which doesn’t even last a few minutes. But times have changed, now to pay bills with just a click of a cellphone, everything has been paid off. To buy phone credit, all we must do is pay using the financial application on our cellphone, or pay internet bills, just enter the customer ID number and click pay.
All of this can happen because of a system called a biller, which means that a biller is a person or agency, or company that helps pay or settle bills. For bills that can be paid this depends on the services provided by the biller itself. biller is a payment system via the Internet. Generally, a company cooperates with several banking institutions to support e-payment facilities. Using such a wide banking network, purchase and payment transactions can be done anytime and anywhere.
The concept of electronic billing is not new. Since the advent of the Internet, a small number of consumers have used this electronic medium to pay bills online. New to the electronic billing arena is the concept of electronic billing. With electronic billing, the billing company (biller) posts consumer statements to the Internet, enabling consumers to view reports and make electronic payments. After the consumer enters the billing identity number with an inquiry, the bill amount can appear on their cellphone screen, then the consumer knows the bill amount, the consumer can pay the bill by paying via a virtual account or debiting from their e-money balance. With the spread of the Internet, billing payment has become a new type of service area for regular billers such as telephone companies, electricity, water, tax, tv, and internet, etc. Internet-based billing and payment systems provide a direct personal communication channel between the Collector and the Payer. Through the digital bank application or e-money and e-wallet applications, payers can pay their bills by choosing what bills they will pay.
As mentioned above, using this biller system makes it very easy for consumers to be able to pay bills without having to leave the house, queue, or spend time outside just to pay bills. Paying bills with a biller system can also increase the security of paying bills in large quantities. The choice of products in paying bills has also become very large, not only paying bills but consumers can buy game vouchers, movie vouchers, or purchase music application vouchers. In the future, the biller will be a system that will be used by everyone. The choice of products is also increasing, biller service providers are also more abundant. Biller payments will not only focus on paying general product bills but also for paying for special products such as paying for schools, apartments, as well as paying zakat and donations.
In the future, the biller system will not die, because almost all adult human life is about paying bills.
