there a fee for using this payment option? |

the payment agent charges a service fee of $4.95. Con Edison does
not receive any portion of the service
fee. |
| Q: |
Why
will I be charged a fee to use my credit
card? |
| A: |
The
credit card providers charge the payment agent a fee. Most merchants
embed this fee in the price of their product or service. Con
Edison’s regulatory-approved rates, however, do not allow for us to
include the fee in your energy bill. The payment agent accepting the
credit card payment on our behalf, therefore, charges the fee. Con
Edison does not receive any portion of this
fee.
|
| Q: |
When
will payment be posted to my account? |
| A: |
You
should allow two business days for payment to be posted to your
account. To avoid a late payment charge, please make your payment at
least two business days before the payment due date shown on your
bill.
