Virginia electric cooperative deploys bill payment kiosks

February 10, 2017

The Central Virginia Electric Cooperative announced new, round-the-clock payment centers at each of its three offices located in Colleen, Appomattox and Palmyra, according to a press release. With 24/7 access, the recently installed electronic kiosks will accept payments using bank cards, checks and cash.

"Members have different schedules and preferences in how they pay their electric bills," CVEC spokesman Greg Kelly said in the release. "The cooperative is responding so that members can now pay their electric bills on site, during and outside of regular business hours, and have those payments posted immediately to their accounts."

The kiosks expand the current options that include automatic bank draft, mail in, online and telephone payments.

"Knowing that some members prefer to visit our offices, we understand that the kiosk payment centers will offer a convenient alternative before we open the doors in the morning or after a member leaves work in the evening," said Kelly. "We are pleased to introduce the new payments centers and believe the members will find them beneficial."

Headquartered in Lovingston, CVEC is a member-owned electric-distribution utility serving over 36,000 meters in 14 counties across central Virginia.
