Payment Options

How can I pay my bill?

  By mail. The bottom portion of the bill should be returned along with your payment to ensure proper credit on your account using the return envelope provided. Mail payments should arrive at the office by the due date and be made by check or money order. If a question arises as to the validity of a personal check, cash or a money order may be required. Second party checks will not be accepted. If a check is not honored because of "insufficient funds" or for any other reason, a service charge will be assessed and the account status will be the same as if no payment had been made. If a payment is made by personal check in order to avoid service termination, and the check is not honored, service may be disconnected after a 24-hour notification.

In person. We believe in maintaining a strong local presence to better serve our members. Bring your payment or inquiries to Guthrie County RECs office in Guthrie Center. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. We also have a night deposit box that may be used at any time.

Online. You can pay your bill electronically using a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover card. The pay by check option on the form is not available through Guthrie County REC.  You will need your Guthrie County REC account number(s), as it appears on your bill(s).

Once you have read through the details of the online payment option click the "I Agree" button at the bottom of the notice page and you will be taken to the secured sign-up page. 

Automatic. Enrollment in this plan allows our members to pay their bills by automatic electronic funds transfer from a bank, savings and loan, or credit union checking or savings account. To sign up for this free service, complete an automatic authorization form and submit along with a voided check to the cooperative office.

Budget billing. It's convenient!  It's accurate! Budget your monthly finances and escape seasonal fluctuations in your bill by paying a fixed amount every month. The electric price on budget billing is not different from the price you are currently paying. The program works by establishing an individual payment amount based on the average of your previous year's electrical consumption. The budget bill amount will remain fixed for one year and will be recalculated in July with adjustments made accordingly. To qualify, you must have lived at the same location for at least 12 months and have an account in good standing.
