Love online shopping, but don’t want to pay with a credit card? There are several reasons to be a little hesitant when shopping online. First, how do you know it’s safe to be giving out your credit card number to various websites? Secondly, what if you don’t want to use a credit card and you’d prefer to pay with cash? There is now a solution to both of those problems. It’s called eBillme.com.
According to the site, it’s a secure payment option that does not require a credit card. Ebillme has formed partnerships with various online stores that sell everything from apparel to electronics. When you shop on Ebillme, all you have to do is checkout using the “eBillme” option and pay for your purchase through your bank’s online bill pay portal.
It works like paying any utility bill with online banking. You set up eBillme as the payee and you authorize the payment for the purchase you make. There’s no fee for signing up and you don’t have to give out any sensitive financial information. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Checkout
At checkout, select eBillme as your payment option. (Just like you would choose Visa or Mastercard.) A copy of the eBill will be emailed to you for your records.
Step 2: Pay
Login to your bank’s website and go to the bill pay section. Follow the instructions found in your eBill and add eBillme as a payee. Then pay for your order the same way you pay your other online bills.
