Ways to Pay

Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services and its subsidiary, SwiftCurrent Connect, provide multiple options for you, the consumer, to help make bill payment as easy as possible. As a cooperative, Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services (PPCS) and SwiftCurrent Connect set rates to cover the actual cost of delivering utilities to your home, farm, or business, and we are transparent about these actual costs and your utility use on your billing statements.

No matter which payment method you choose, be cautious when entering your bank account information for your bill payment. Entering the wrong account or routing number may result in additional charges from your bank and PPCS, just like they would for non-sufficient funds. Double-check your information before clicking submit.

We know information is powerful, and we want to help you take control of the utilities you use and the money you pay for them. If you have any questions regarding your bill, contact our member relations team.

How To Read Your Bill

The Automatic Payment Plan program is available for both PPCS members and SwiftCurrent Connect customers. With this program, your payment will be automatically withdrawn from your designated checking/savings account or credit/debit card on or about the due date indicated on your monthly bill. For additional information, read our Automatic Payment Plan FAQ’s. Enroll in Automatic Payment in SmartHub, or complete the authorization form below. PPCS members receive a $1 credit on their monthly energy bill for participating in Automatic Payment Plan using a checking or savings account.

Electric members can save even more by enrolling in Paperless Billing and receive a one-time $5 credit and a monthly $1 credit on their energy bill.

Your energy bill doesn’t have to have big monthly ups and downs. Take the guesswork out by signing up for our Even Pay program, available to qualifying PPCS members. Even Pay gives you uniform monthly payments on your energy account(s). The Even Pay amount is based on your average energy use during the previous 12 months. You will receive a monthly statement showing your actual energy consumption and the amount due under the Even Pay program. The average Even Pay amount is reviewed at the end of April. Your Even Pay amount will be recalculated if your account reflects a large credit or debit.

Energy use for the previous 12-month period will be used to calculate the Even Pay amount.
All account balances must be current.
No more than three (3) late payments over the previous 12-month period.
No NSF checks were submitted over the previous 12-month period.
Member must keep his/her Even Pay account current. If a member is overdue more than one month’s Even Pay amount, PPCS may remove the account from the Even Pay program, and any balance will be due immediately.

To enroll: Log into SmartHub and select Even Pay Program from the Billing & Payments menu, or call us at 800-924-2133.

Increase your peace of mind by signing up for our Automatic Payment program. Payment may be made by credit card or through direct withdrawal from any bank account. Plus, receive a $1 credit on your monthly energy bill if you sign up for Automatic Payment with your bank account.

Payments made toward utility expenses using UCard benefits may take several days to be received by PPCS. Please allow up to 2 weeks for PPCS to receive any payments made using UCard benefits.
