Since Budget Billing is a service to you, we appreciate prompt payment. If your monthly bills are not paid on time, you may incur late payment charges, and it may become necessary to remove you from the plan.
Automatic Payment is a great way to have your energy bills paid automatically.
Complete the Automatic Payment Agreement Form authorizing your bank, credit union, or savings to automatically deduct the amount of your UPPCO bill from your account each month. There are 2 options for setting up automatic payments. The first is within the portal, and the second is to fill out the Automatic Payment Agreement Form.
Yes. However, there are a few different steps you’ll need to follow. In addition to the signed agreement, you’ll need to:
- Verify that your bank will deduct payments from a savings account. (Some don’t)
- Send on a separate piece of paper:
- Your bank name and ABA number (obtain from your bank)
- The savings account number you want to use
- Your signature (in addition to the one on the agreement)
Please send this information to the address indicated on the Automatic Payment Agreement Form (PDF)
You don’t pay for postage or gasoline. There’s no check to write. And you’ll never be late for a payment.
Absolutely not! Automatic Payment is a free service from UPPCO, although your financial institution may charge for this type of transaction. You may want to call them and ask. However, you will still save the money you’re currently spending on stamps, gasoline, and checks.
Yes, just like you do currently. And the upcoming date and amount of the Automatic Payment will be printed right on the bill, so you’ll know exactly how much will be deducted and when. You’ll have plenty of time to review and call with any questions before the payment is made.
Your payments will begin with either the first or second UPPCO bill you receive after you sign up for the plan. You’ll know your next payment will be made automatically when you see the words “Amount to be Withdrawn” on the stub portion of your bill.
Your Automatic Payment deduction will be listed on your monthly bank statement. Also, your UPPCO bill each month will show your previous balance and the payment made through the Automatic Payment program.
Just as if you were paying normally by check, a returned check fee will be charged to your account if there are non-sufficient funds.
