Direct debit — the easy way to pay

Direct debit is the easy way to pay your ActewAGL accounts from your savings, cheque account or credit card account. Depending on the payment option you choose, you may be able to select the amount you want to pay, and the frequency of your payments.

If you use direct debit from a savings or cheque account for your electricity, water and sewerage accounts, you will receive a discount of $0.055 (GST inclusive) per day. That's a total saving of $40.16 for both services per annum. The discount is calculated on a daily basis for the period direct debit is active on your account(s).

Plus, when you take advantage of our direct debit options you still have access to the benefits of epayplus - which allows you to:

  • Receive invoice notification via email
  • View consumption and transaction history
  • View all invoice copies online

Please note:

  • the discount does not apply if you pay by credit card
  • the discount does not apply for ActewAGL Bundle services contracts in the ACT and NSW.

All information you give ActewAGL about your savings, cheque or credit card accounts will be kept in the strictest confidence between your financial institution and ActewAGL. ActewAGL will not pass your information on to anyone else.

The information you provide while completing your form online is secure. ActewAGL uses Verisign Digital Certificate Services (128-bit encryption) to ensure your details are encrypted and stored securely. Please view our Security Statement for more information.
