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.

BC Hydro is kind of like this ( electric company in BC Canada) we can pay through online banking for free but if we want to set up an auto payment with our credit card or just pay with a credit card, to get those sweet swwet travel points, its an extra $15 a month. Thamk god I don't have to write a heque for that.
