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your payments automatically withdrawn from your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