A few months back, Google quietly introduced bill pay reminders cards to Google Now and it appears that the company is adding to this feature. If you can’t remember your outstanding balance on a specific bill, just tap the mic on the Google app and say “show me my bills” or “my bills due this week.” This will bring up a list of your upcoming bills that need to be paid.
Google Now has been updated with a slick new feature that will remind you to pay your bills based on emails in your Gmail inbox. Notifications cards will display a bill’s payee, amount owed, due date and an option to display the email that the information came from. It’s not clear how many bill collectors are supported at this time, however Google Now gets payee information by scanning emails in your Gmail account, so you’ll need to have some type of online correspondence set up with the companies that you wish to pay.
Google Now features typically roll out silently, so there shouldn’t be any update prompts, however it never hurts to make sure that your device is rocking the latest version of the Google Search app.
