We understand that customers would like the option to pay their Hydro One bill by credit card. As you know, credit card companies charge businesses like Hydro One a percentage of the payment for processing fees. Most merchants embed this fee in the price of their product or service. However, as a regulated utility, these charges are not included in our approved rates and charges that we bill our customers. In order to be fair to all customers, we have to ensure that the users of the credit card service pay for the service. Hydro One customers may choose to pay their bill via credit card through Paymentus. Paymentus Corporation is an independent company providing a service for us. They pass along their costs through a processing fee to the user. Hydro One does not receive any portion of this processing fee.
If you have any questions or need further details, please don't hesitate to contact our Non-Energy Billing Customer Service line at 1-877-554-7344. Thank you for your attention to this change.
