Pay Your Bill with Cash Using VanillaDirect Pay

Washington Electric Cooperative now offers VanillaDirect Pay — a convenient way for members to pay their electric bill with cash at participating retail stores.

How It Works

Starting in February, your paper bill will include a unique barcode. Simply take your bill to the register at any participating retailer and:

  1. Show the barcode to the cashier

  2. The cashier will scan it like any other product

  3. Pay your bill with cash

  4. Receive a receipt on the spot

Payments are processed immediately through our secure system, and if you're signed up for SmartHub, you’ll also receive a text and/or email notification when your payment is received.

Don't have your paper bill? No problem! You can also access your barcode through the SmartHub mobile app!

Participating Retailers

You can make a cash payment at any of these convenient locations:

  • Dollar General

  • Family Dollar

  • CVS Pharmacy

  • 7-Eleven

  • GoMart

  • Speedway

  • Walgreens

SmartHub includes a  retailer locator and map to help you find the nearest participating store.

 

Cost to Use

While there’s no cost from Washington Electric, the retailer will charge a small $1.50 service fee per transaction. 

Important Note

VanillaDirect Pay is available for cash payments only. Debit cards, credit cards, or checks are not accepted through this method.
