GEUS
October 06, 2026 I have always had good service through Geus. The only problem I have is with your high late payment price. You give us just one day, this month I will have to pay over $20 for being late by only one day. Most places will give you a five day grace period but not Geus. My own pay date is always the second Wednesday of each month being on social security my pay date changes each month. So I can't always pay on exact date you require. It's hard to have to pay like a $20 late fee for seniors on social security. You should change it to five days grace period instead of just one day late. Please change this.
