Members who sign up for Bank Withdrawal AutoPay should provide a voided copy of a check or savings withdrawal form. Credit Card AutoPay requires MasterCard or VISA. Every month afterward, the Cooperative will charge your credit card or debit your bank account in the first week of the month. This gives you time to review your bill and contact the Cooperative with any questions.
How to Tell If You Are Enrolled in AutoPay:
After AutoPay is established for your account(s), a note will begin to appear on your monthly bill(s) near the Total Due Amount. The note, which will be in green, will say "DO NOT PAY," and it will describe the automatic payment. (This green note may not appear until the second month of AutoPayment if the enrollment form arrives after EMEC has closed programming for the month.)
Who is Eligible?
Bank Withdrawal AutoPay is available to all EMEC customers. Credit card AutoPay is available for all residential and seasonal customers, as well as nonresidential customers with monthly bills that average less than $500 per month.
No Partial Payments
(except on Budget Billing):
AutoPay must be used to pay the entire balance due each month. Partial payments are not possible under AutoPay. This does not apply to Budget Billing customers, for whom the budget amount will be paid each month.
Declined Transactions:
If an automatic payment transaction is declined, EMEC will bill the customer for related charges billed to Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative by its bank or financial partners.
