Paying bills can be a tedious task With so many accounts and due dates to keep track of, it’s easy to miss payments and get hit with late fees But your electric bill doesn’t have to be a hassle. KCP&L offers a few easy ways to pay your bill online or through the KCP&L app, so you can cross that chore off your list quickly and avoid any late payment charges.
Setting Up an Online KCP&L Account
The first step is setting up an online account on the KCP&L website This allows you to easily manage all aspects of your account digitally instead of dealing with paper bills and mail payments
To create an account, you’ll need your KCP&L account number, name, service address, and email. The process only takes a few minutes. Once your account is created, you can opt for paperless billing or continue receiving bills in the mail. With paperless billing, you’ll get an email notification when your bill is ready to view and pay online.
The online account also allows you to monitor your daily electric usage and provides graphs so you can track your energy habits over time. This allows you to identify ways to conserve power and hopefully lower your monthly bills.
Paying Your KCP&L Bill Online
The most convenient way to pay your KCP&L bill is through the online account portal or mobile app. You can pay directly from your bank account or with a credit or debit card. The payment will be applied immediately, so you don’t have to worry about your bill getting lost in the mail.
When you log into your KCP&L account, your current bill amount will be displayed at the top. All you have to do is click the “Pay Bill” button and enter your payment information. The online portal allows you to enter credit card information securely without having to reveal the full card number.
You also have the option to set up recurring payments from your bank account or credit card. This way, your bill is paid automatically each month and you never have to think about it. KCP&L will notify you via email before taking out each recurring payment, so you can update your payment method if needed.
Paying Through the KCP&L Mobile App
In addition to the online portal, KCP&L offers a free mobile app for your smartphone. This gives you the power to manage payments, check your usage, report outages, and more, all from your iOS or Android device.
To pay your bill through the app, open it up and select the payments tab. You can make a one-time payment or set up auto-pay here too. The app also lets you view your current charges, see previous bills, monitor your energy usage, contact customer service, and access other account features.
Avoiding Late Fees with Alerts
One helpful option offered by KCP&L is custom bill alerts that let you know when your bill is ready or when a payment is due. You can choose to receive alerts through email, text, or push notifications in the mobile app.
Setting up bill alerts safeguards you from overlooking a payment and incurring late fees. KCP&L charges a 1.5% late fee on any unpaid balances, so getting a bill reminder can prevent extra charges.
You can select your preferred type of alert by logging into your online account and navigating to the notifications section. From there, turn on billing alerts, specify how you want to be notified, and confirm your current contact information.
