Topic: Can you pay your household bills with bitcoin ? (Read 6827 times)
In Mexico, Volabit has a service where you can pay your phone, electricity, and others.
Not sure how many countries their Bill Pay service covers https://www.igot.com
I would definitely pay my bills with bitcoin too but there isn't much bitcoin support where I live. I think that more services will arrive that will eliminate this problem so people can pay their bills with bitcoin and maybe with other crypto currencies.
Yes. I am using Cashila service. Works really nice, but only in EU countries ("You can use our bill payment service within 19 Eurozone countries: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain.") - https://www.cashila.com/
At the same time, when paying for my household bills with bitcoin, i immediately rebuy the same amount with Reload - https://reload.bitnik.eu
Both services together work perfectly for me

can't you just use aurumxchange's withdraw2card service?
and dump cash onto your debit or credit card?

My card is not accepted I think..so I cant use it.! :/
Just convert your Bitcoin to cash and pay your bills.
Why would you do that unless you are getting paid directly with bitcoin? you would lose money with the fees.
Why would you want to risk even getting paid in bitcoin as you can lose out on price fluctuations too. I think it's too risky to have your full income in bitcoins as it you could be living on the breadline if there's a crash that month. Far too risky for me.
Yes but with 3% fees:

I can't see many people using this with the fees though.

You might be able to pay some of your expenses, but ultimately it depends on what country are you from.
Philipines for example has a very good service to do this.

So, get paid directly with bitcoin using http://www.bitwage.co
Or even a percentage of your pay.

I am waiting for the day when I will be able to pay household bills directly with bitcoins.
and I wait when all could use bitcoin payments around the world
Well, this will help remittance too....
The biggest thing, stopping people from accepting Bitcoin in the remittance market, is the added cost to convert it, back to fiat.
If there was no reason for them to convert to fiat, it would have been the cheapest currency to use, in the world.

It is definitely a useful service that I have been waiting for for a long time. I realize it is just starting out so they need to charge more but with competition and more use I'm sure the price will come down.
They may want to check out MyCheckFree who offers free bill pay services (in fiat).
