AutoPay Credit Card
Save Time and Avoid Late Payments
With the AutoPay Credit Card Program, your monthly electric bill is automatically charged to your credit or debit card or pinless debit card, no sooner than three days after the billing date listed on your electric bill. You know your electric bill is paid on time and without worrying about writing a check, buying a stamp or your payment being lost in the mail.
With this option, you'll also enjoy the benefits of eBill, our paperless billing service that allows you to securely view your bills and manage your account online anytime.
Participation in eBill is required for the AutoPay Credit Card Program. If you're not already enrolled in eBill, you'll be asked to sign up.
