Bill Payment Made Easy<br />
Automatic Bill Payment is as easy as it sounds.<br />
It allows your electric bill to be paid directly from<br />
whatever financial institution you choose: your<br />
bank, your savings and loan or your credit union.<br />
Imagine no more checks and no more payment<br />
deadlines! With Automatic Bill Payment, there has<br />
never been an easier way to pay your monthly<br />
electric bill. It gives you the opportunity to enjoy<br />
convenience, security, speed and savings by having<br />
your payments automatically withdrawn from your<br />
checking or savings account. It eliminates the<br />
burden of mailing payments, saves postage and<br />
ensures your payments are always on time. The<br />
service is absolutely FREE.<br />
With <strong>KIUC</strong> Automatic Bill Payment:<br />
◼ You will never miss a payment, even when you<br />
are out of town.<br />
◼ You will still receive a monthly statement from<br />
<strong>KIUC</strong> showing the same information a bill does<br />
(meter reading, usage, account balance, etc.).<br />
◼ You will see how much energy you used and<br />
the amount and date of your next automatic<br />
withdrawal.<br />
◼ Your payment will be electronically deducted<br />
from your checking or savings account.<br />
◼ No checks are required.<br />
◼ No late payments, ever.<br />
Here is how to get started:<br />
◼ Complete an authorization form and return it<br />
to <strong>KIUC</strong>. Be certain to include a voided check<br />
or photocopy of a check with<br />
the authorization form.<br />
◼ We will arrange your Automatic Bill Payment<br />
with your financial institution.<br />
◼ You will continue to receive an electric bill<br />
every month that features the date on which<br />
your bill will automatically be paid. Deductions<br />
are made 21 days or later once your electric<br />
bill is mailed. This gives you<br />
time to review your bill and call <strong>KIUC</strong> with<br />
any questions.<br />
◼ All you have to do is make certain there are<br />
sufficient funds in your account to cover the<br />
automatic withdrawal each month. If your<br />
Automatic Bill Payment is returned for<br />
insufficient funds, your financial institution<br />
and <strong>KIUC</strong> will assess the same amount that<br />
would apply for a dishonored check.<br />
So, let your bank, savings and loan, or credit<br />
union do your monthly bill paying automatically.<br />
