We want to say Thanks! to all our members who make Alternatives their primary financial institution, and we think we've found a great way to do it.

We're now offering active members the convenience of online billpaying, BillPay@Home, which usually costs $5.95/month for unlimited bills, for free!


If you have:

  • Active Debit Card
  • Current Loan or Line of Credit
  • Paperless Monthly Statements = you can have - FREE BILLPAY@HOME!**

Paying your bills with a click of a button is fast and easy. With BillPay@Home you can:
- Make multiple payments on a single screen
- Schedule future and recurring payments
- Review recent transactions
- Export to Quicken

And along with paying your bills without having to buy stamps and get the envelopes to the post office, you'll be saving trees too!

  • Debit cards are the paperless way to use the cash in your checking account. Your Alternatives VISA Debit Card can be used like a credit card wherever VISA is accepted, but the amount of your transaction will come directly out of your checking account. If you don't have a debit card you can stop in and request one at the front desk.
  • Paperless monthly statements give you access to your statements earlier than paper statements. They're safe and secure, and you can track your statements back to 2002. Finding an old transaction is at your fingertips at https://secure.alternatives.org/member/statements.php. You can choose paperless statements by going to www.alternatives.org, logging into Member Only Services, clicking into estatements and then change your statement delivery method.

Signing up for BillPay@Home is easy. (click into this) https://global1.onlinebank.com/897alternatives/online.htm

Or stop in and our Member Service Specialists will be glad to help you set up your services so you can take advantage of FREE BILLPAY.

Sign up today, and let us say THANKS! We appreciate you choosing Alternatives for all your financial needs.
