Payment by Bank Draft - A FREE OPTION!
The Bank Draft Program at Huntsville Utilities offers two convenient options for you to choose from: Automatic Monthly Bank Draft and One-Time Web/Phone Draft
Option 1: Automatic Monthly Bank Draft
What is it? The amount due on your bill is automatically drafted from your bank account each month. Automatic Monthly Bank Draft offers great benefits:
- It’s free!
- It’s convenient! Never miss paying a bill.
- No late payments.
- No late penalties.
- No hassle writing checks and paying postage.
When are payments drafted?
Bank draft payments are presented for withdrawal one business day prior to your due date. If your due date falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are presented to the bank the prior business day.
What happens when I enroll?
Invoices will be issued and mailed the next business day after your meters are read. The bill will note: “Paid by Bank Draft”
How do I get started?
Log in to My Account to get started.
Option 2: One Time Bank Draft via Website or Automated Phone System
You may initiate a draft at your discretion online by logging into My Account or by automated telephone at 256-535-1200. This option requires that you have your 12-digit Utilities Account Number and PIN number.
How to Enroll Online
You may enroll in the Automatic Bank Draft Program by logging into My Account. This will require you to register as an online user. Once registration is complete, update your current bank information under the Bank Data option. Upon completing the bank information, web/phone draft is immediately available.

How To Perform A Web/Phone Draft
(You will need your account number and pin number)

Once online registration and enrollment are complete, log on to your account through My Account. The View/Pay bill window will open. Enter the amount you would like to pay then select the payment method you want to use and click Continue. Once you have verified the payment information click Pay and you will receive a transaction number.
Via the Automated Phone System: 256-535-1200
Call 256-535-1200 to reach the Automated Phone System. You will need your Huntsville Utilities 12-digit account number and your four digit pin number. (Unless otherwise specified, this is the last four digits of the primary account holder’s social security number). Listen for the prompt to pay by “bank draft” and follow the instructions. An additional option has been added where a customer can add their bank information using the Automated Phone System and then go right into processing the payment.

The installment amount will be due with the monthly billing for the agreed upon terms. No additional agreement will be available until the customer’s account is paid in full. When a customer signs an Installment Plan, they waive the right to any review concerning the validity of the bill.
