SWRE Offers Online Bill Pay
Want to schedule your monthly SWRE payments automatically to a credit card? Or... Do you want to receive alerts to
your e-mail or cell phone when your bill is due? Now you can do these things and more with SWRE’s updated “Online Bill Pay”. SWRE has accepted online payments
for some time, but a new secure bill-pay portal page offers several new options. Members can choose and set up these options by themselves. One-time payments can be made from credit cards or checking accounts. Monthly payments can now be sched-
uled to bill and pay automatically from credit card accounts or bank accounts. Members may also choose to receive e-mail or text alerts and reminders. To find SWRE’s Online Bill Pay portal
page, at the SWRE web site (www.swre. com), click “On Line Bill Pay”, written in black letters at the center of the page. This will open the newly developed se- cure portal page. Members will need their SWRE ac-
count number, the name and address to which the account bills, and they will need to create an online account password. In coming months members can expect
even more online options to be added, in- cluding the ability to track or monitor elec- tricity usage from month to month. Look for an announcement in SWRE
News as these additional services be- come available!
