We get the users monthly bills. They set up their bank account to withdraw a daily, weekly, or bi-weekly amount to pay monthly bills on time. For example my roommates never paid me the $500/month in rent. After asking for $125/week every roommate paid on time from then on. Even better, we offer down to the day so a $500/month payment would cost $16.13. We would round it to $17 and funnel remainders into savings accounts.
