The Profile
Paranoid Paper Pushers tend to be very organized and in control when it comes to managing finances. They carefully review their bills to make sure they're accurate. They prefer to pay their bills with a paper check, which they send out by mail. To them, the Internet might be okay for reading the news or checking on the weather, but not for banking or paying bills online. They don't trust the Internet.

Meet Ralph
They don’t come much more paranoid than Ralph. If you had to sum up his Bill Pay Personality in just a few words, it would be, “I have a system, why change?”
Ralph may be organized but he’s too paper dependent. His reliance on documenting everything on paper makes him a prime candidate for identity theft. Ralph’s the kind of guy who:
- Is very organized and keeps paper copies of everything — enough to start his own library
- Doesn't trust the Internet with his money
- Still watches movies on VHS
- Prefers to pay his bills with paper checks, which he signs and places in his mailbox with a red flag
