FAQs

Utility Billing

What forms of payment can I use?

You can pay with credit card, debit card, or you may issue an electronic check from your bank account (checking or savings).  American Express and gift cards with the Mastercard or Visa logo are not accepted.

When I try to pay my bill, it asks for credit card information and I want to pay by electronic check.

Under “How would you like to pay,” click on the drop-down box and choose EFT check.

Can I use more than one payment method per transaction?

Yes, you may use one payment method for part of the transaction and another payment method for other parts of the transaction.

How will I know that my payment has been accepted?

After you submit your payment, you will see a payment confirmation screen. It will show an approved number for credit cards or a processed number for electronic check. You will also receive a confirmation email after your transaction is submitted. The email with include your account number, invoice number, amount paid, and confirmation message. 

What is AutoPay and how do I set it up?

AutoPay is a convenient option in which bills will be paid automatically each billing cycle on their due dates using your default credit card or bank account information. This will avoid late fees and having to remember when to pay. Login to your account and click on AutoPay to enroll.

Once your account is registered, go to the “My Profile” menu and select “Payment Methods.” Enter your preferred payment method, select the Default box, and click save. Go to the AutoPay section, choose your payment method, and click save. You will receive a confirmation email and must click the link in that email to complete the AutoPay set up.

Can I cancel AutoPay?

Yes, simply login to your account and click on AutoPay. Next, select “Edit,” and change the status to “No, I don’t want AutoPay.” Click save. To modify, go into your profile and uncheck the AutoPay box you had previously checked when you elected to opt in. 

What are scheduled payments?

Scheduled payments are individual payments that are scheduled for a specific date and amount prior to the bill due date. The date of a scheduled payment can be changed if it is adjusted before the date scheduled.

What is the difference between AutoPay and a scheduled payment?

AutoPay is an automated process which pays your balance in full each billing cycle on the due date. Scheduled payments are manually entered by you for the date you choose.

What is account linking?

Customers can link multiple utility accounts and view and pay all your open bills with a single transaction. When registering bills under the same email address, you are given the option to link the related account within the service.

Multiple first email notifications scheduled for the same day, including for different bill types, are grouped into one email rather than sent separately. Payment receipts are sent individually. Editing account information such as changing an email or password will go across all linked accounts, however, changing settings such as AutoPay or paperless is only for the accessed account.

How do I change my account information?

Simply login to your account and change any of your personal information under the “My Profile” tab. If you are unable to change some of your information, you may need to call Utility Billing at 206-275-7602 to help update your account information.

Is my information secure?

Invoice Cloud uses the highest standards in Internet security. Account information displayed within the payment portal is truncated to protect confidential data. Any information retained is not shared with third parties.
