  • Find your Account numbers to the right of your transit and financial institution numbers. Account numbers are a minimum of 7 digits and may be up to 12 digits long.
  • Some banks, like TD, have a designation number that should be included as part of the account number.

Avoid entry errors - don't use spaces or dashes and double check to ensure you entered numbers in the correct order.

  A note about paying with your credit card

If you choose to pay by credit card, there will be a small fee applied by our third party vendor, KUBRA. Under the current rate structure approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission, credit card fees would be passed on to all ratepayers, whether they pay by credit card or not. To avoid transferring this fee to all customers, this service fee is only applied to customers who choose the credit card payment service. The service fee is set by, and paid to, our third party vendor and applied as follows:

  • VISA and MasterCard payments have a service fee of 1.75%.
  • VISA Debit and MasterCard Debit card payments have a service fee of 0.75%.​

Choose a plan for your lifestyle

We can set up automatic payment withdrawal based on one of 2 available plans. Choose one that best suits your needs:​​

Equal payment plan

We will withdraw an equal monthly payment from your bank account on your choice of the 1st or 15th of the month. Payments are a fixed amount based on your residence's previous 12 months consumption.  Your monthly invoice will show the balance of your account. All accounts are reviewed in August and, if necessary, adjusted. At this time, any outstanding balance will be automatically deducted from your account to bring it to zero. If we owe you, we will credit your account. The program is available anytime throughout the year.​

Variable payment plan

We will automatically deduct the exact amount owing on your bill from your bank account each month. Your bill will be sent to you as usual approximately 2 weeks before the due date.

Never miss a bill payment

Set up automatic bill payments and never miss a payment again! Your monthly EPCOR bill will be conveniently withdrawn from your bank account or charged to your credit card on the billing due date and automatically credited to your EPCOR account.
