Pepco's Direct Debit Program
Now there's a way to pay your electric bill quickly, conveniently and effortlessly, without writing or mailing a check. Just sign up for Pepco's Direct Debit, our automatic bill payment service, and your electric bill will be paid automatically from your bank, savings and loan or credit union checking account each month. All Pepco customers with accounts in good standing are eligible.
No Stamps to Buy? Here's How It works:
- You complete the enrollment form and fax or mail it to Pepco. We need this information to verify your account number and bank routing information.
- Once your enrollment is processed, each month, Pepco will send you a statement at least five days prior to the transfer. The statement will show the amount you owe, and your transfer date, which is your regularly scheduled bill due date.
- Then, unless we hear differently from you, the amount you owe will be automatically transferred from your bank account to Pepco on the payment due date. Your next month's statement will reflect the payment just as if you had written a check. It's that simple.
Responsive to Your Needs
If you ever need to suspend the transfer because of a cash emergency or for any other reason, just contact Pepco at least five business days prior to the transfer date. You can then pay your bill by cash or check. And, of course, if at anytime you wish to discontinue participation in Direct Debit, just give us a call at (202) 833-7500.
No Checks to Mail!
Simply print, complete and sign the attached enrollment form and mail it to Pepco. If more convenient, simply fax the form to Pepco at (202) 872-3217. We'll send you a confirmation letter along with a helpful Direct Debit brochure.
As a Direct Debit participant, you'll save on postage and check writing costs. You'll enjoy the convenience and avoid the bother of having to remember to pay by a certain date. And just think--you may never have to write a check to Pepco again.
Be sure to include the bank routing and checking account numbers from your check (see above sample for location of these numbers) to process your enrollment. If you are unsure of the numbers, please include a copy of a voided check and we will take care of the rest.
