PSE’s bill pay options help customers save time and hassle when making their monthly payment

As a PSE customer myself, I used to dread utility bill day each month I’d routinely misplace the bill and scramble to find it before the due date More than once, I’d forgotten altogether until I saw a late notice in my inbox.

Now paying my PSE bill is fast, stress-free, and requires minimal effort on my part. If you’re looking for an easier way to pay your PSE bill each month, here are some great options to consider:

Pay Online Through My PSE Account

The easiest way I’ve found to pay my PSE bill is through My PSE Account. All you need to do is log in to your account online and you can view your current PSE bill and make a payment with just a few clicks.

To pay online through My PSE Account, you’ll first need to create an account on the PSE website. You’ll provide some basic contact and account information to set up your username and password.

Once your account is created, you can log in anytime to view your current PSE bill and balance owed. Just click on the “Pay bill” link and you’ll be walked through the simple payment process.

I like paying through My PSE Account because:

• I can quickly pay my bill any time of day without having to track down a paper statement.

• It’s fast and easy – takes just seconds to log in and make a payment.

• I can see my current PSE bill and exactly how much I owe.

• Payments post to my account within 1-2 business days.

• I can set up autopay directly from my account so my bill gets paid automatically each month.

Pay By Phone

If you prefer to speak to a live representative, you can easily pay your PSE bill over the phone. Just call PSE toll-free at 1-888-225-5773 and a customer service agent can take your payment over the phone.

When you call to pay your bill, be sure to have your PSE account number handy. You’ll need to provide this to the agent to pull up your account balance and process your payment.

You can pay your PSE bill by phone using:

• Debit or credit card
• Electronic check

Payments made by phone typically post to your PSE account within 1-2 business days. So it’s a fast and convenient option when you want to talk to a real person.

Some reasons I like paying my PSE bill by phone:

• Quick and easy – takes just a few minutes.

• Can pay by debit/credit card or electronic check.

• Helpful PSE agents can answer any billing questions.

• Payments post quickly so my account stays current.

• No need to track down my paper bill statement.

Pay By Mail

While slower and less convenient, you can still mail in a payment the old-fashioned way if you prefer.

To pay your PSE bill by mail, simply send a check, money order, or cashier’s check to:

Puget Sound Energy
BOT-01H
P.O. Box 91269
Bellevue, WA 98009-9269

Be sure to include your PSE account number on the check or money order so your payment gets applied correctly.

Mailed payments can take up to 7 business days to post to your account. So make sure to mail your payment 7-10 days before the due date to avoid late fees.

Reasons some customers may still choose to pay by mail:

• Can pay by check if you don’t have a bank account/debit card.

• Like having a paper trail of mailed payments.

• Don’t mind slower processing times.

• Prefer dealing with paper bills and payments.

Pay in Person

You can also pay your PSE bill in person at an authorized pay station in your area. Visit the PSE pay station map to find a location near you.

When paying in person, you’ll need to bring:

• Cash, check, money order, or pin-based debit card.

• Your current PSE paper bill or account number.

Payments made at an authorized pay station are typically credited to your PSE account within 1-2 business days. It’s a good option if you want to pay in cash or prefer in-person customer service.

Reasons to pay your PSE bill in person:

• Can pay with cash or pin-based debit.

• Speak face-to-face with a customer service rep.

• Get a receipt immediately for your records.

• Avoid the hassle of mailing in a payment.

Sign Up for AutoPay

The easiest way I’ve found to ensure my PSE bill gets paid on time every month is to enroll in AutoPay through My PSE Account. This authorizes PSE to automatically withdraw my payment each month from my bank account or credit card.

With AutoPay, I don’t have to think about paying my bill ever again! The payment is automatically made on the due date so I never incur late fees or hassles.

To enroll in AutoPay:

1. Log into My PSE account.

2. Click on “AutoPay” under the Payments section.

3. Select your preferred payment method and confirm your enrollment.

It’s that easy! Going on AutoPay has given me peace of mind knowing my PSE bill is always paid on time. It’s one less thing I have to remember each month.

Reasons I love having AutoPay for my PSE bill:

• Bill gets paid automatically each month.

• No more late payments or forgetting to pay.

• Saves time – no more manually making payments.

• Can set it and forget it!

• Chose the payment date that works best for me.

Get Payment Assistance if Needed

If you’re ever unable to pay your PSE bill on time, don’t panic! PSE offers payment assistance programs and flexible payment plans for customers facing financial hardships.

Some options if you’re struggling to pay your PSE bill:

• Payment arrangements – Set up installment plans to pay your balance over time.

• Bill Credit Donation Program – Donate your bill credit to help others pay their PSE bills.

• LIHEAP – Federally funded energy assistance grants for low-income households.
