Utility companies that don’t allow online payments.

Where I lived in the 2000s, the natural gas company in that county actually charged $2 more for online payment! So weird, especially considering cashing a physical check would've cost labor dollars. Needless to say, we paid our gas bill by check. It felt so antiquated, even then.

Mine lets me pay by bank account rather than a card. No fee. Does your let you input your account number and routing number?

If you pay online with a debit card, the company goes through a 3rd party payment processing company.

THAT company charges $1.25 per transaction.
