What is e-Bill?

e-Bill is an electronic billing and payment option that eliminates your paper bill altogether. Bills are electronically created and delivered over the Internet. Electronic payments are then generated directly from your bank account. It is safe, convenient, and offers you the flexibility to manage your bills at any time and from anywhere.

Why should I choose e-Bill over Automatic Payment and a paper bill?

e-Bill is a bill delivery and payment option. Automatic Payment is a payment option only. Both options enable you to have your bank release a payment every month without any worry. The advantage of e-Bill is that it provides you the ability to change your payment date monthly to fit your cash flow. You can pay your bill when it works best for you, without having to contact anyone at the bank. Just change the scheduled payment date for your e-Bill online.

What are my e-Bill Paperless Billing payment options?

You can choose to pay your e-Bill manually or schedule Auto-payments. When paying manually, each month you must log in and select the date that you want your payment posted to your WPS account. You can choose to pay immediately or schedule your payment for a future date. Scheduled payments can be made and canceled up to 1-2 business days before the payment due date. Please be sure to schedule your payment prior to 3 p.m. CST at least one business day before your due date. When paying with Auto-payments, you schedule your payments in advance to be automatically deducted from your checking or money market account each month. You can choose to have your bill paid as soon as it arrives or on your bill due date.

Auto-payments can be set up using your checking or money market account. You select if you want your payments to be processed on the day your bill arrives or your bill due date. Auto-payments will take effect with the next bill cycle.

What happens to my payment if I'm already on my utility's Automatic Payment plan and then sign up for e-Bill?

Because e-Bill offers an Auto Payment option — and to avoid duplicate payments — you will be removed from your WPS Automatic Payment plan as of your next bill. Your current bill will still be paid. To continue making automatic payments through e-Bill, simply select the automatic payments option found under "Worry-free Options." You will then need to re-enter your financial information.

It is important to understand the terms and conditions of the program, since you are giving us permission to debit your account for payments and suppress paper billing.
