Bank Account Payments

Pay your bill on time, every time with AutoPay. JEA automatically withdraws your balance due from your bank account on your due date.

To enroll in AutoPay, your account must not have an outstanding balance or be in a payment extension plan. AutoPay will begin on your next billing cycle after you sign up, so please pay any account balance currently due by its due date. 

When we prepare your bill, your account balance will reflect payment has been made, although it will not withdraw from your bank account until your due date.

After you enroll, you can always update your bank information within your jea.com online account.

One-Click Credit Card Payments

Fast Pay is a convenient way to pay your JEA bill by credit card without logging into jea.com or having to re-enter payment information each month. 

By signing up for Fast Pay, you’ll get an email each month (separately from your eBill, if applicable) to confirm your utility payment amount. Click to confirm your payment and your utility bill will be automatically paid with the credit card saved in your account.

To set up Fast Pay:

  • From the Online Bill Pay page, click the Pay by Credit/Debit button.
  • Then from the resulting JEA Online Payments page, click the upper-left menu and select Fast Pay.

If You Have a jea.com Account

Pay By Bank Account

You have the option to pay directly from your bank account. Store your account and routing numbers securely in your jea.com account for easy payment each month. If you don’t want to store them, simply enter the information each time you pay.

While all checking accounts can make ACH payments, please check with your financial institution for ACH availability with other types of bank accounts. 

Pay By Debit or Credit Card

JEA accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express-branded cards through our third-party payment vendor, KUBRA®. 

SERVICE UPDATE: Beginning Sept. 30, 2024, JEA online and phone payments made with a credit or debit card will be subject to a vendor service fee, based on the fee structure shown below. This is a pass-through cost charged by our payment processing vendor. Payments made by cash, check or bank account will remain fee-free.

 

Total Payment Vendor Service Fee
Up to $400.00 $2.35
$400.01 - $1,000.00 $8.95
$1,000.01 - $2500 $40.00

 

Schedule an Online Payment

If you're not one for automatic payments, scheduled payments may be right for you! You can preschedule a payment up to 30 days in advance when paying with your bank account. 

  1. Click on Pay by Bank Account (or Manage Bank Accounts, if you haven't already saved a bank account).
  2. Indicate the amount you would like to pay.
  3. Indicate the bank account with which you would like to pay.
  4. Select a future payment date.
  5. Check your email for confirmation of your scheduled payment, and again once your payment has processed.

Scheduled payments may take up to one business day to process after the scheduled date. Your balance will not reflect the payment until the first business day after the scheduled payment date. If you need to cancel your scheduled payment, you can do so before 11 a.m. on the day of your scheduled payment.

If You Do Not Have a jea.com Account

JEA Guest Pay is the perfect solution for customers who wish to pay online but do not have a jea.com account, or for someone who wishes to make a payment on behalf of a customer. Use your bank account or debit/credit card to pay any account by simply entering a JEA account number.

Guest Pay is only available for customers with an active JEA account paying for utility services. Deposits to start service may not be paid through this option. A valid JEA account number is required.  

KUBRA Boost™ - The “Boost” feature allows biller customers to request payment assistance from friends and family members. Customers can share a system-generated link with friends and family so they can make partial bill payments for any amount on their behalf or pay the entire amount. This link conveniently takes them directly to the KUBRA EZ-PAY® account, where they can make payments. The “Boost” feature also allows roommates to share bill payments easily.
