Paying your FPL electric bill is easy when you use one of their many authorized walk-in payment locations. With thousands of payment centers across Florida, you likely have multiple options within driving distance. This article will explain the different types of locations, their benefits, what to bring, and tips for avoiding fees.
Overview Of Fpl’s In-Person Payment Options
FPL has partnered with major chains and independent retailers to offer walk-in bill pay centers. They are located throughout FPL’s service area for customer convenience. The two main types are:
-
Standard authorized locations – These accept cash payments free of charge. Most major chains like Publix, Walgreens, and Walmart are standard locations.
-
Extended network – Smaller independent retailers that charge a $150 convenience fee per transaction, FPL does not receive any portion of this fee,
By utilizing authorized locations instead of unauthorized payment services, you can ensure your payment posts immediately to your FPL account. Avoid potential delays of up to 7 days by sticking with approved partners.
Locating Nearby Fpl Bill Pay Centers
FPL offers an interactive map on their website to find walk-in payment locations close to your home or office. You can filter by city or zip code and see all authorized partners.
The map shows standard locations versus extended network agents so you can choose to avoid the $1.50 fee. Each pin shows the company name, address, and distance from your search location.
Before heading out, I recommend double checking their hours and payment methods. Some may have limited schedules or cash-only policies. The map provides phone numbers to call ahead.
