Automatic Pay
Pepco's Pre-Authorized Transfer Program (PAT)
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 Pre-Authorized
Transfer Program, 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 fill in an application form (following) and fax or mail it to
Pepco. We need this information to verify you raccount 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 PAT, 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 to
Pepco at (202) 872-3217. We'll send you a confirmation letter along with
a helpful PAT brochure.
As a PAT 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.
Questions? Call Pepco at (202) 833-7500 during business hours. We'll be
