When we found out that Maynilad had already launched its Paperless Billing Program just this October 2021, we thought that their timing was just perfect. The advantages of getting water bills electronically weigh much more than having them sent via mail. With Maynilad’s Paperless Billing Program, less is actually more. Here are some of the reasons why.
Less Is More With Maynilad’s Paperless Billing Program
Less Risk
– When we get our bills via e-mail, SMS, or by going directly to our Maynilad account online (https://mywaterbill.mayniladwater.com.ph/, there’s less risk of having our name and account exposed as compared to when they are physically written in mails. Going paperless is a more secure way of viewing our bills because we have all the options – choosing our passwords and changing them whenever we feel we have to. When it comes to security and privacy when we enrolled via Maynilad’s portal, Maynilad cleared it and give us confidence thru its Data Privacy Policy.
Less Time In Waiting For Bills
We now have 24/7 online access to our bills so there’s no need to wait for the mail to come if we want to see them. If we have relatives who are abroad who are the ones paying our bills, they can easily access it online anytime of the day. Previous bills are also stored in Maynilad portal and they are useful in tracking previous consumption. Knowing how much we use water monthly and comparing them per month will make us aware if we are suddenly increasing or decreasing our water use which can alert us of excessive usage or maybe connection problems we are not aware of.
Less Waste
Going paperless is friendly to us as home keeper and our environment. We deal with enough clutter at home and one less paper bill will definitely help. It will also mean that Maynilad will be spending less in paper and in manpower for people who needs to deliver our bills via mail. This means Maynilad can spend more on services that matter more to us as customers.
Less Failed Payments
The chances of losing paper bills is high when they are brought and kept in a mail box before they reach your hands. By enrolling in Maynilad’s Paperless Billing program, we have the option to choose the notification we will receive before our due dates. No matter how good we are in organizing schedules, it’s inevitable to lose track of days and so a reliable alert system will lessen the things we worry about and we pay our dues on time.
Less Contact
We are slowly getting back to normal but it doesn’t mean that we are 100% safe and sure that COVID-19 virus won’t spread again like it did before. The constant threat of new variants only mean that we should still minimize contact with people bringing physical mails or when we are paying our bills outside. Maynilad’s portal doesn’t have the auto-pay or direct to their website payment for now but there are links that will direct us to online banks where we can pay our bills.
