Drivers of Consumers’ Bill Payment Priorities

How Consumers Decide Which Bills Get Paid and Which Bills Get Skipped

Seventy-two percent of consumers prioritize at least one bill over others — but what determines which are skipped? This edition of “The One-Stop Bill Pay Playbook,” a collaboration with Mastercard, uses findings from 2,140 consumers to examine how consumers manage bills when budgets are tight, and what billers can do to make sure they get paid.
