Why a fee?

The ability to pay by credit and debit card online and by phone is provided by a third-party payment processor that charges a convenience fee for each card payment accepted. This fee helps cover transaction costs that average 3 percent of the amount paid. Those costs help card providers cover “cash back” and other rewards for their cardholders.

We’re always working hard to keep your costs as low as possible while maximizing your convenience. In late 2017, we negotiated a deal with our card processor that lowered the convenience fee for most of our customers. A small number of customers who make large payments now pay a higher fee. In early 2018, our processor agreed to accept American Express cards and to offer an option that allows our customers to make an unlimited number of payments, giving you more options to pay your bill by credit or debit card.
