Bank Drafting for Electric Bill Payment

Kankakee Valley REMC offers an automated bill payment plan which is handled through the ACH process (Automated Clearing House). This is a process whereby the information concerning your bill payment is electronically transmitted to our bank for processing and payment of your monthly electric bill.

Your checking or savings account is charged a day or two before the due date, thereby eliminating the need for you to send us a check or come into the office to pay your electric bill. This also gives you the assurance that your bill is always paid on time and you will not have any late fees assessed if you forget to pay, or the possibility of the payment being lost in the mail.

Once we have received the information we need from you concerning your checking or savings account, bank routing numbers, and your account has been preauthorized (verification of your account number and bank routing number through ACH), your monthly electric bill will be paid automatically. There are no fees charged to you for this service. You may cancel your participation at any time upon written notice to the REMC.

You will continue to receive a monthly bill so you can enter this transaction into your personal checking/savings account. Your bill will have the wording "Bank Draft -- Do Not Pay" on it.

The "Authorization Agreement" may be obtained by calling the REMC office during regular business hours or clicking on the link below. Just complete the agreement and return it along with your "VOIDED" check to allow us to obtain the necessary information to set up your account for drafting.
