Ways to Pay
We’ve made it as convenient and easy as possible for both residential and business customers to pay their energy bills; take a look below and see which way best meets your needs.
Auto Pay automatically withdraws your payments from your checking or savings account, or charges your debit or credit card each month. Business customers can participate in Auto Pay using their checking or savings account. Set it and forget it!
An online account is required. (Don’t have one? Register now!)
Fee? Free!
If you want full control over how much, when, and how to pay your bill, this is the option for you. Review & Pay gives you the freedom to pay in full or make a partial payment, pay now or schedule a payment for later, and use a different or new payment method if you like.*

For customers who choose not to register for an online account (or who are unable to sign in), or for those who might be paying someone else’s bill, Guest Pay allows them to make a payment online without signing in. You’ll need to have the Avista account number and last four digits of the primary customer’s phone number on hand.*
No online account is required!
Fee? Free for residential customers; $10 for business customers.**
Did you know you can schedule up to three payments in advance of your due date (if your account is current)? If you need to split up your bill in order to pay it, it’s fine by us. You can schedule payments from within the Review & Pay payment process, or by visiting Scheduled Payments.

If you prefer to pay your bill in person, we have a number of authorized pay stations and drop boxes. Please remember to bring your billing statement with you, and be aware your payment could take a few days to post to your account. Pay stations accept only cash, money order, or personal check. Business checks must be mailed.
