What is Auto Pay?
Auto Pay is a free and convenient service that automatically pays your bill each month by deducting the payment from your selected bank account 11 days prior to your bill due date. It can help you avoid manually submitting payments, missing payments and getting charged late fees. When you are on Auto Pay, you will still receive a bill so that you can review your charges before each payment is processed.
Enroll in Auto Pay by signing into your SCE account, selecting the Auto Pay option under billing and payment settings, and entering your bank account information. View step-by-step instructions on how to enroll in Auto Pay.
Auto Pay can be cancelled, and payment information can be updated or changed at any time.
Important: Auto Pay payments can only be made using a bank account; credit cards and debit cards are not accepted.
