- So exactly how does it work?
- QuickCheck Agreement Form authorizing
your bank, credit union or savings and loan association to automatically deduct the
amount of your WPSC bill from your checking account each month. Send the
form to us now or along with your next payment and include a voided check from your
checkbook. We will take care of the rest.

- Can my payment be deducted from a savings account?
- Yes. However, there are a few different steps
you'll need to follow. In addition to the signed agreement, you'll need to:
- Verify that your bank will deduct payments from a savings account. (Some don't)
- Send on a separate piece of paper:
- Your bank name and ABA number (obtain from your bank)
- The savings account number you want to use
- Your signature (in addition to the one on the agreement)
Please send this information to the address indicated on the
QuickCheck Agreement Form.

- How is it easier than paying by check each month?
- You don't pay for postage or gasoline. There is no
check to write. You'll never be late for a payment if you forget or are out of town.

- Do I pay any charges for the QuickCheck program?
- Absolutely not! QuickCheck
is a free service from Wisconsin Public Service, although your financial
institution may charge for this type of transaction. You may want
to call them and ask. However, you will still save the money you're
currently spending on stamps, gasoline and checks.

- Does this work well with Budget Billing, where I pay the same each month?
- Yes. QuickCheck and Budget Billing are
made to work together. Not only can you make your payment automatically, but you will
always know how much your bill will be. Each program works well alone, but the two,
together, are often chosen for greatest convenience.

- Will I still get a bill from Wisconsin Public Service?
- Yes, just like you do currently. And the upcoming
date and amount of the automatic QuickCheck transfer will be printed right on the bill,
so you'll know exactly how much will be deducted and when. You'll have plenty of time
to review and call with any questions before the payment is made.
Back to Top
- Is it possible to select the due date of my bill?
- Yes, you may choose the day you pay! You may have
your payment deducted from your account on any day of the month you choose — first
of the month, middle of the month or whatever day is best for you.
Back to Top
- How soon after I sign up will my QuickCheck payments begin?
- Your payments will begin with either the first or
second WPSC bill you receive after you sign up for the plan. You'll know your
next payment will be made automatically when you see the words "Quick Check
Amount" on the stub portion of your bill.
Back to Top
- How will I know my bill has been paid?
- Your QuickCheck deduction will be listed on your
monthly bank statement as an item labeled "Wisc Public Serv - QuickCheck."
Also, your WPSC bill each month will show your previous balance and the
payment made through the QuickCheck program.

- What if there is not enough money in my bank account to cover the payment?
- Just as if you were paying normally by check, a
return check fee will be charged to your account if there are non-sufficient funds.
Back to Top
- What happens if I change financial institutions?
- It's easy. You simply fill out a new agreement and
send it along with a new voided check. We'll take care of the transfer for you. Please
note, depending on the timing of this change, your account may not transfer on the
next bill you receive. Therefore, you may need to send payment for one bill.
Back to Top
- What if I move?
- If you move to another address served by WPSC but do not change financial
institutions, we'll simply transfer the information required to your new account.
If you change financial institutions, we'll need you to fill out the online form
again with the new information.
