Recently I’ve had challenges with my bills that are paid automatically online through a credit card. It’s becoming a common occurrence over the past couple of months.

At first I thought the problem was with the specific company which was attempting to process my billing. Each month the number of challenges with processing my payment has increased. Since I do a lot of work online and have a bunch of different accounts from auto responders, hosting, video posting services and all my personal bills that are processed automatically it has become a little frustrating.

I felt that it was not a coincidence that it was happening with several different accounts, I decided to contact my bank to see if there was a challenge there.

My bank gave me a really good explanation of what the problem was. Banks are tightening up on internet billing preferences such as addresses, phone numbers, zip codes, etc. These fields are much more sensitive when it comes to processing online payments. I simply had to make sure that my information in my accounts was very detailed. It even recognizes the street number on my address.

So, this is a good thing now that I have realized what’s going on. The security measures that the banks are taking to protect us are very advanced and do a great job at protecting us from fraud.
