Why is there an additional charge to pay online. What a rip off I pay all utility bills online in both Florida and NY and have never been charged extra. It should be looked into as illegal

That is funny Marie. I have AT&T, ADT, JEA, used to pay rent online, and all of them came with convenience fees. I've lived in Florida for 21 yrs...must be nice you never got charged.

Hi Marie, that is a good question. Our payment processor charges us for the ability to allow our customer’s to pay by card or e-check and we pass this fee onto our customers who choose these payment methods. A processing fee to pay with credit card or e-check is an industry standard, and most utility companies charge a convenience fee that allows your payments to post immediately to your account. However, we offer other ways you can pay without fee. You can pay through your bank’s online bill pay, through our ACH autodraft program, or by mailing in a check or money order. Thank you for your question and please contact us directly at 800-717-9811 if we can help you further.
