I authorize Benton Rural Electric Association (Benton REA) to, on a recurring basis, automatically charge the debit or credit card account that I specify, or to automatically debit the checking account I specify for payments due on the this account.

I understand that Benton REA will initiate transfers/charges pursuant to this authorization not to exceed the amount shown on my bill for this account. The transfers/charges on my bank account will take place on the 8th day of the month the bill is due, or the nearest business day after. The transfers/charges on my credit or debit card will default to taking place on the 8^th day of the month, but can take place on the 20^th of the month if requested by calling 509-786-2913.

I understand that if a transfer/charge is declined for any reason, I will be notified and will need to make the payment by another means. I understand that if a transfer/charge is declined multiple times, my account may be automatically removed from Auto Pay and will be responsible for making other payment arrangements prior to the scheduled past due date.

I am responsible for providing Benton REA with accurate payment account information if such information changes in the future. I understand that I can remove this account from Auto Pay at any time.
