Payment Options

To pay your bill by phone using a credit or debit card, you MUST call our secure pay-by-phone number: 855-940-3918. This automated toll-free number will guide you through a series of prompts to manually pay your bill any time of day or night.

PPEC moved to this system to become Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant with new data security standards. Our member service representatives cannot take credit or debit card payments over the phone because it violates the new PCI standards, and keeping your sensitive financial information secure is of utmost importance to us. Rest assured that our automated number is quick, easy, and adds another layer of protection from fraud when paying your bill with a credit or debit card. Just make sure you have your card numbers and relevant information at hand when you call.

Never worry about paying your bill on time every month again! By signing up for auto-pay, you can set recurring payments and simply let go of the thought of having to pay your bill on a certain date. Our system will automatically deduct the amount of your bill on the 9th of every month, so you don’t have to do anything. Sound great? It is. There are two ways to set up auto-pay:

Call our automated pay-by-phone number (855-940-3918). Listen to the prompts. One of the menu options will allow you to establish recurring payments. Make sure to have your bank routing and account numbers on hand if you want to pay from a checking or savings account. If you want to pay with a credit card, have your card with you so you can relay all the information for the system to store.

You can also set up automatic recurring payments in SmartHub. (See the description of SmartHub above.)

We are not affiliated with third-party bill payment services like Doxo, which often appear near the top of online searches for bill payments. 

Please do not make payments through companies like these, as you are putting your information at risk. Please use the methods listed above to ensure the secure, timely payment of your monthly bill.
