Automatic Fixed Payment

You can nominate to pay a fixed monthly amount by setting up a monthly automatic payment with your bank. This is an effective way to take control over your budget - but remember that you'll need to ensure the fixed payment is higher than the highest likely invoice in any given month to keep your prompt payment discount in months where the bill exceeds your monthly payment. If there’s still an amount owing when you receive your invoice, simply pay the outstanding balance by the due date. Automatic payments can be setup by using your bank’s internet banking facilities, or obtaining an automatic payment form from your bank.

Telephone Banking

Call your bank’s telephone banking service on or before the due date of your bill, and pay the full amount owing less the prompt payment discount.

Getting Set Up

Call your bank and ask for Pulse Energy to be listed as a payee/biller on your telephone banking account. You’ll need to have your Pulse Energy account number to set this up and provide Pulse Energy’s bank account details as listed below.

Internet banking

Log on to your bank’s Internet banking service on or before the due date of your bill, and pay the amount shown on your bill.


Getting Set Up
