Flexible payment options
Country Energy has the following payment options for residential and small business customers.
Online by credit card
You can use this site's secure account payment facility to pay by Mastercard or Visa. You will need to have your most recent Country Energy account or account details handy. A minimum transaction of $10 applies.
Direct Debit
Direct Debit makes paying your Country Energy account simple by enabling you to arrange automatic transfers from your bank, building society or credit union. It costs you nothing to set up and you can choose from three options:
- EasyPay: we average your accounts over a year and debit an agreed amount either each week, fortnight or month. This means you won't get hit with the odd large seasonal account. Click here for more information on EasyPay.
- Regular instalments: you specify how much you want to pay and how often, though any arrears must be paid by the due date of your next account.
- Total account: your total account is debited in full on the due date.
