Electronic Direct Payment

last modified: April 9, 2014 at 12:28:58 PM

You can pay automatically each month by electronic direct payment from a bank account or credit card. Your bill will always be paid on time, even if you are out of town or on vacation. The withdrawal date is the first business day of the month (not counting weekends or holidays).

You will continue to receive a statement each month from ECI REC to inform you of the amount of your electric bill. The bill you receive will have "bank draft - do not pay"or "credit card charged" printed on it to let you know it has been paid by electronic direct payment. ECI REC accepts electronic direct payments from checking, savings, or credit/debit card accounts.

Please notify our office in writing if:

  • your banking institution, banking, or credit card account numbers should change.
  • you desire to terminate electronic direct payment.

We take every effort to start the electronic direct payment process as soon as we receive your request. Please check your statement to ensure that it reads "bank draft - do not pay"or "credit card charged."

To sign up for electronic direct payment, follow these simple steps. Note: your account(s) must be paid in full prior to beginning the electronic direct payment process.

  • Access the electronic direct payment application.
  • Complete and sign the application form.
  • If you want the bill deducted from checking, include a voided check from your desired checking account.
  • Mail the form to our Urbana office or submit it by email.
