PAY YOUR BILL View Your Bill or Pay Online Rayle EMC provides several methods for bill payment. The idea is to make it as convenient for you to pay your bill, as you want it to be. Of course, you can still come by any one of our three offices, Mon.- Fri., from 8:00 am. until 5:00 pm., and either come inside or go through our convenient drive-thru and drop off your bill payment. Also, at each location, there is a secure night-drop box with a supply of payment envelopes for you to place your payment in should you choose to come by after regular hours or on weekends. When we mail out bills, we include a window envelope for your use in mailing your bill payment. Just detach the payment stub from your bill, and return it with your check. AUTOMATIC BANK DRAFT PLAN Talk about convenience! This plan allows you to authorize Rayle EMC to deduct your monthly electric bill from your checking account, automatically. Your account will actually be debited within 5 working days of the due date on the bill. Benefits of the Automatic Bank Draft Plan • No more checks to write • No payments to mail • Saves you postage and checking fees • Bills are always paid on time • You’ll still receive a printed record of your bill in the mail You can sign up for Automatic Bank Draft by printing out and completing this PDF form. It is also available at any one of our three locations. Simply bring the completed form to the nearest office, along with a voided or cancelled check to complete the sign-up process.

We want to make payment of electric bills for this group as convenient as possible. To qualify, you must be 62 years of age and be able to show that you are receiving either a social security or retirement check. That’s it! The billing date for this plan is the last business day of the month, regardless of the day of the month of the meter reading. The due date is the same as that allowed all members - 15 days from the billing date. Your electric bill arrives within a day or two of receiving your check, making it easier for you to schedule payment. To apply, you can download and complete this PDF form and bring it by our office, or come by the office and we’ll give you a form to complete. All you need to bring is a social security check or retirement check. Just another of the ways Rayle EMC is working to make your life just a little bit easier! LEVELIZED BILLING For many people, budgeting for electricity can be difficult because of the seasonal nature of our electricity usage – usually, higher in winter and summer and lower in the spring and the fall. To flatten out the cost of this usage, Rayle EMC offers Levelized Billing. Each month, your bill is first calculated in the normal manner. But instead of receiving a bill for that amount, your current bill is added to the last eleven month’s bills. The total is divided by 12 to determine an average cost. This calculation is done every month, so the effect is to level out the highs and lows. Your total cost for your electricity is not reduced; however, the month-to-month fluctuation in energy cost is reduced significantly. To qualify, a member must have lived at their present service address for at least the last 12 months, and their payment history must be in good standing for that same period of time. You may stop participation in the program at any time, or Rayle EMC may discontinue your participation should an unsatisfactory payment history develop, or if the account has a bad check. If the member’s participation is cancelled, the account will be adjusted for any deferred balance or credit. Call the office today about any one or all of these convenient payment programs. We’ll give you the information you need to enroll. Copyright 2004 Rayle Electric Membership Corporation.  All Rights Reserved.
