The no debit card thing is something I questioned too as I think there are many college age students who just don't HAVE checks or use them - everything is paying online or with debit cards. I really think that billhighway should provide money orders for this purpose (so you don't have to go to 7-11 & pay some ridiculous amount for them).

Speaking from a finance officer's standpoint I have to say that billhighway is a godsend. I know that some collegians are not happy with it, but when a new treasurer calls me hysterically with questions about their account, it helps that I can log in and see all of their chapter's cash flow for the past semester.

What really bugs me about Bill Highway is that there's no way to override a charge once it's been submitted. Using two examples from my chapter: one sister missed an informal recruitment event and was fined. The even that she missed carried a $25 fine, but the treasurer accidentally keyed it in as a formal recruitment event, and it came to a $100 fine. She protested the fine, but all we could do was pay her back the $75.

In another case, a sister's bank account was hacked into, and she had a good deal of money stolen from her account at the same time a payment was due. We couldn't override or delay it, and she ended up having to pay late fees because there was no way she could pay by the due date. (I keep saying 'we' because I was on executive council during the times these issues came up). It might be great for the treasurer, but it's a real pain for the other members.
