The advantages
Convenient — Have your payment automatically withdrawn from your chequing account each month. Forget about writing cheques, waiting in line-ups or paying postage or late payment charges.
Easy and free — All banks, trust companies and credit unions participate in the FortisBC Pre-Authorized Payment Plan, and we don't charge you for joining.
How the plan works
With our convenient Pre-Authorized Payment Plan, we automatically withdraw your bill payments from your bank account.
The amount your financial institution charges to process your transaction varies, depending on the type of financial institution and the type of account you maintain. The amount you are charged should not exceed the cost your bank would otherwise charge you for processing a cheque.
You may instruct your bank to stop payment at any time prior to the pre-authorized payment clearing your account.
If you would like to withdraw from the plan, just call the phone number on your bill or e-mail indicating that you wish to cancel your enrolment. We require at least two business days cancellation notice.
