How does it work?

  • Once enrolled, you will continue to receive a statement each month.
  • Your statement will show the amount and date your payment will be deducted from your bank account.
  • A message will appear on your statement each month to keep you informed of your transactions.

When is the payment withdrawn from my account?

  • Watch for a message on your bill to indicate you are on the plan.
  • The date and withdrawal amount will be shown on your bill.
  • Your payment will be withdrawn the morning of your billing due date.

Note: Sufficient funds or bank approved overdraft protection must be available when payment is due, to avoid an NSF charge.

What if your bank account changes?

Simply advise us in writing and include your new personalized cheque marked VOID. We'll do the rest.

Budget Payment Plan is also available.
