I don't understand the benefit of using online bill payment services
if the end result is the same as writing a check. Why not just write
the check and give it to the bishop -- especially if you still have to
fill out a donation slip for it anyway? Then at least the two would be
kept together.
The online banking services make a lot of sense to me if the funds are
going to be transferred electronically, eliminating all of the
paperwork for the member, as well as the clerk.
