Let Banks Pay All Bills proposes two payment plans
Dallas advertising executive E B Andrews argues in The American Banker that banks could handle a family’s monthly bills. One plan would allow the bank to pay bills up to a set limit. the other would issue a monthly bill list for the customer to approve. He claims this would reduce household checks from about 25 to 5 or 6 per month and save businesses from millions of bills, envelopes, and payment notations.
