If you want to pay with a credit/debit card or e-payment from your bank (checking or savings account), please contact Farmers Electric at 870-523-3691 to utilize this payment service.

Bank Draft

No more buying stamps or late payments! Sign up for bank draft to have your bill drafted out of your checking account each month. Your account will be charged on the due date listed on your bill. To sign up for bank draft, call the cooperative office at 870-523-3691 or 800-834-9055 for more details.

Levelized Billing

Our levelized billing plan attempts to level your monthly payments each billing period based on a rolling 12-month average which, under normal circumstances, should change your bill only a few dollars each month. Levelized billing is great for those on fixed incomes that don’t want to endure the ups and downs of seasonal electric bills. Please call the cooperative office at 870-523-3691 or 800-834-9055 for details on signing up for levelized billing.
