If you own a home in Mexico and it is not your permanent residence, it is possible to keep your bills paid long distance.
To do this, open up a Mexican bank account with BBVA Bancomer, Banamex, HSBC, or Santander. BBVA Bancomer will pay your CFE electric bill, Telmex, Cablamas and other utility bills when due without any need for your participation in the process, free of charge. All you need to do is make sure you have money in the bank!
If you are ever overbilled by your utility company, and your bank pays the bill, not to worry. Once your utility company has agreed to reimburse you, they will reimburse your account directly.
If you have not set up a Mexican bank account yet, it’s a good excuse to visit your Mexican home and do so. If you don’t speak Spanish very well, consider bringing a translator or ask for an English speaking attendant.
