How to Pay Your Weakley County Municipal Electric System Bill Online, by Phone, or In Person

Paying your monthly electric bill to Weakley County Municipal Electric System (WCMES) is easy and convenient with several options available. As a WCMES customer myself I know how important it is to pay your bill on time each month. In this article I’ll walk through the various ways you can pay your WCMES electric bill so you can choose the method that works best for your needs.

Pay Online

The easiest way to pay your WCMES bill is online through their customer portal. Just go to https://wcmes.utilitynexus.com/ and either log in to your existing account or sign up for a new account. You’ll need your 12-digit account number handy to create an account.

Once logged in, you can view your current balance and due date. Then just enter your payment information and submit the payment. It takes just a minute or two to complete. Paying online is fast, secure, and lets you avoid mailing in checks or driving to an in-person payment location.

There is a small convenience fee added to each online payment transaction But avoiding late fees by paying on time online is worth the minor extra cost in my opinion You can use a credit card, debit card, or electronic bank transfer to pay online.

One tip is that online payments are processed overnight, so allow extra time if paying close to your due date If your service has already been disconnected for nonpayment, you’ll need to call the WCMES office after submitting your payment online so they can reconnect your service in a timely manner.

Overall though, paying online through the WCMES customer portal is the simplest and most convenient way for most customers. Give it a try if you haven’t yet.

Pay by Phone

You can also pay your WCMES electric bill over the phone by calling 1-888-643-1082. You’ll need to have your 12-digit account number and payment information ready when you call.

Paying by phone is easy and only takes a few minutes. It can be a good option if you don’t have consistent internet access to pay online. There is a convenience fee added to phone payments just like with online payments.

One thing to note with phone payments is that they are processed overnight, so allow extra time if paying close to your due date. And as with online payments, if your service has already been disconnected you’ll need to call the WCMES office after making your phone payment so they can reconnect you right away.

Overall paying by phone is a simple and fast way to pay your bill if you don’t want to mess with cheques or visiting a payment center. Just call the toll-free number whenever it’s convenient for you.

Pay In Person

If you prefer paying your WCMES electric bill in person, there are several local options available:

• WCMES Office – You can pay at the WCMES office located at 11181 Hwy 22 in Martin, TN. They’re open Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.

• Local Banks – Many banks in the WCMES service area accept electric bill payments. This includes Carroll Bank & Trust in Bradford, Security Bank in Fulton, and Simmons Bank in Sharon.

• City Halls – You can pay your WCMES bill at city halls in Gleason, Sharon, and other local municipalities.

When paying in person, be sure to confirm the payment location’s business hours ahead of time. You’ll need to bring your payment and your WCMES account number.

The advantage of paying in person is you’ll know right away that your payment was received. The downside is it takes more time and effort to visit a payment center rather than paying online or by phone. But for some customers, paying in person is their preferred method.

Bank Draft Payment Option

WCMES offers a convenient bank draft option for paying your electric bill automatically each month. With bank draft, you authorize WCMES to send your bank a draft in the amount of your monthly electric bill around your due date.

To set up bank draft, bring a voided check and photo ID to the WCMES office at 11181 Hwy 22 in Martin, TN. This allows them to set up the monthly automated drafts from your bank account.

With bank draft, you’ll still receive a bill each month marked “Memorandum Only” so you know the amount being drafted. It’s a convenient hands-off way to pay and avoid late fees. Just be sure you have sufficient funds in your account each month for the draft.

Avoid Late Fees and Disconnection

Hopefully this overview gives you a clear picture of the various ways you can easily pay your WCMES electric bill. Paying on time avoids late payment fees, and more importantly avoids having your power disconnected for nonpayment.

WCMES offers payment plans if you’re struggling to pay your bill in full. Just contact their office before your service is scheduled for disconnection to set up a payment arrangement. They also can provide contact information for local assistance organizations if needed.

No matter which payment method you choose, be sure to pay your WCMES electric bill by the due date each month. Avoid those pesky late fees and the inconvenience of having your power shut off. Paying online is the easiest and most convenient option for most customers. But WCMES offers phone, in-person, and bank draft payment alternatives too. Choose the one that fits your needs and pay on time.
