bill paying

Honoring financial obligations

Bill paying is the act of settling financial obligations—rent, utilities, credit cards, and other recurring charges.

The phrase often appears as a compound modifier: bill-paying services, automatic bill-paying.

Someone who handles household finances might describe themselves as the one who does all the bill paying around here.
