Our billing system, “BillHub” has a variety of payment methods available. By far, the most common and easiest method is Direct Debit but we also accept, Online payments, Credit Cards, or eTransfer.  Please choose one of the below methods:

1. Direct Debit – (also known as pre-authorized debit/PAD or automatic withdrawal). You provide your banking information securely to us, either by entering it here: www.billhub.ca/bankingor by providing us a copy of a VOID cheque or the numbers at the bottom of your cheque. Your payment will come out every month automatically on the due date of your bill – no need to do anything!

2. Credit Card – you provide your credit card details andthe payments come automatically off your credit card each month on the due date. Note there is a 2.4% transaction fee for this method. You can provide your credit card information, or make a one time payment, securely here: www.billhub.ca/banking

3. Online Banking - We are now set up as “BillHub” for online banking, telephone and in-branch payments! Most financial institutions will offer this, so if you can find BillHub on the drop-down list of “payees” with your financial institution, you can use it! You can also speak to your teller at your bank (be sure to have your account number with you when you go in).

How to Set up a Payee using Online Banking:

• Sign in to your online banking, find the option to Add a Payee
• Search for BILLHUB and select it
• Add your account number, which can be found on the top right of your power/gas bill

4.eTransfer - You can send an etransfer via email to payments@billhub.ca.

Unfortunately, as a retailer, we have zero control over those. This is entirely the realm of your distribution company (Enmax, ATCO, Fortis, etc. – depending on where you live) and will be added to your bill each month based on the information provided to us by the Distribution company in your area – as a retailer, we make no markup on these and by law have to flow them through to you on your bill, collect them from you and pay them directly to the distribution company. The regulated distribution companies provide us with the monthly delivery charges on your statement. We collect these monies from you and flow them to the distribution companies. We do not earn a return or markup on these charges in any way. These charges will remain the same regardless of which competitive retailer you choose.

Admin fees are $4.99/month with the 25 cents/site daily rate for fixed promo with no break fees.

No problem! Suppose you must meet the credit threshold when we do a credit check. Or you know before you even apply that your credit may be less than perfect (or less than 600).‍We have a “Low-Credit” Plan that offers you just a slightly higher rate than our normal plan (but still very competitive with the competition and certainly against the RRO):‍

• No deposit required‍
• ‍No credit check required
• No enrollment/sign up fee‍‍
• No break fees if you terminate the contract early‍

‍
‍In that case, you are pre-approved for our “Skip Credit Plan" – you will pay just 2 cents/kWh more than our discount plan and $1/GJ more on gas.

There are no break fees on residential contracts – total freedom!

The estimated days of consumption make up the difference between when we receive your meter reading, and when we send out your bill. As estimates are an industry standard, these numbers are based on the historic usage of your residence.

As with all estimate readings, on your next invoice there will be a “true up” where we will use actual readings to reconcile any differences from the previous estimate. So basically, if it is estimated too high, then next month when we get the data for that period, there will be a refund.

A limiter may have been put on your site from a previous retailer (often due to non-payment of a utility account - maybe from previous owners or tenants).

Limiter: A limiter is used to restrict the flow of electricity. It allows a small amount of power to flow through the meter to maintain minimal service at a location, instead of completely shutting off the power.

You will have to contact your previous/current retailer, or your local regulated provider (also known as the default provider) and request to be enrolled and “energized”. If you are unsure who your retailer or provider is, you can always check https://ucahelps.alberta.ca/retailers.aspx and put in your address in the field required to look it up.
