Set Up Automatic Payments for One Less Monthly Chore
Tired of having to manually pay your electric bill every month? We get it – there are a lot of regular monthly tasks that can pile up.
That’s why we highly recommend setting up automatic monthly payments through South River EMC’s bank draft program. This convenient option securely and automatically pays your monthly bill through direct withdrawal from your checking account.
To enroll in automatic bank draft payments:
- Visit our website and log into your account
- Download the PDF draft authorization form
- Fill out the form with your South River EMC account number, bank account details, and signature
- Mail the completed form and a voided check to our office
Once the authorization form is processed on our end, your payments will start drafting automatically each month. We’ll continue debiting your account for the amount due on each monthly bill. No more manually making payments every single month!
Automatic bank draft is reliable, convenient, and helps avoid late fees. You can update your authorization or cancel automatic payments at any time by notifying South River EMC.
Take the hassle out of bill pay and let South River EMC directly withdraw your monthly amount owed. One less thing to remember each month!
Don’t Forget the Ever-Reliable Mail-In Option
While online payments may be popular, submitting your electric bill payment by physical mail is still a tried-and-true option.
To pay your South River EMC bill by mail, simply enclose your payment (by check or money order) along with your billing stub in an envelope. Make sure your South River EMC account number is written clearly on the check or stub.
Then, mail your envelope to:
South River EMC
PO Box 744757
Atlanta, GA 30374-4757
Be sure to allow 3-5 business days for standard mail delivery and processing time. Payments sent by mail must be received at our processing center (not postmarked) by your due date to avoid late fees.
To determine the best mail date to ensure on-time arrival, check your due date and work backwards. Mail no less than 5 days before your bill due date to have a cushion.
While mailing a physical check lacks the convenience and instant processing of online payments, it avoids credit/debit card fees. The routine of writing and mailing a check works for many people. As long as your envelope arrives by the due date, this remains a fine way to pay your South River EMC electric bill.
