One of the first dilemmas facing retirees and other expats in Costa Rica is how to handle paying bills from back home.
The easiest way to handle paying bills from back home such as a mortgage or insurance is by learning how to bank on the Internet.
Many banks offer a service where they will create and mail a check to whomever you owe, or directly transfer the funds to those accounts. Paying bills and dealing with your bank 
online is easy and safe, however I recommend getting comfortable with it before coming to Costa Rica. Also, be careful when using Internet banking; never log on from an Internet café or public place on a public computer. (You can use your own laptop) You never can be too careful.
*You can get your bills sent here, but that can take more time than you have to pay your bills, so beware of incurring late fees or other charges.
