Paying your Provident Energy bill by credit card: questions
Can I pay your Provident Energy bill with a credit card?
Yes. Provident takes cards through Paymentus for a 1.75% fee, one payment at a time. Through Chexy it’s also 1.75% on Canadian cards, and you can schedule every bill once.
Which payee and number do I use?
Provident Energy Management Inc, with your 6-digit customer number from the top right corner of your statement.
Can I set my credit card to pay automatically?
Not with Provident: it doesn’t pre-authorize credit cards. Chexy lets you schedule your bill once and charges your card each cycle.
Why isn’t my payment showing?
Provident says payments take 2 to 3 business days to arrive. Check your balance at providentbilling.com after that.
What does it cost?
1.75% of the payment on Canadian-issued cards (2.5% on international cards), shown before you confirm.
Does Provident need to sign up?
No. They receive an ordinary bank payment in the amount you entered, on the date you scheduled.
The fine print
- Provident can’t pre-authorize credit cards. Its pre-authorized plan only works from a chequing account.
- Paymentus charges a 1.75% service fee for card payments to Provident. Online banking payments have no Provident service fee.
- Bills are due 20 days after the date issued, and late payments carry a 1.5% penalty on the outstanding balance.
- A payment sent to the wrong 6-digit number won’t show on your account. Double-check the number on your statement.
- American Express works for utilities only with eligible billers picked from Chexy’s search bar; Visa and Mastercard work either way.
- Rewards are set by your card issuer, not by Chexy.
- Chexy accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards in your name. Prepaid cards aren’t supported. Some categories (mobile, internet, gym and car leases) need Visa or Mastercard, and for utilities and taxes American Express works with eligible billers only.
