Paying online through Wilson Energy's website
Visit wilsonenergy.com and look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Online Payment" link on the homepage. You will need your account number, which appears on your bill, and either a bank account or credit card. Enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment date — you can schedule a payment for a future date if you want.
Online payments typically post within one business day. Wilson Energy does not charge a fee for online payments made from a bank account, though some credit card companies may charge a cash advance fee if you use a credit card. Keep your confirmation number for your records.
Paying by phone
Call Wilson Energy at 252-291-1411 during business hours. Have your account number and payment method (bank account or card) ready. A representative will process your payment over the phone and give you a confirmation number. Same-day processing happens if you call before their cutoff time, which is typically mid-afternoon on business days.
Phone payment is useful if you have questions about your bill or account at the same time you pay. Ask the representative what time their cutoff is on the day you call, since it may vary.
Paying by mail
Write a check or money order payable to Wilson Energy and mail it to the address shown on your bill. Include your account number on the check. Mail payments take 7 to 10 business days to arrive and be processed, so send your payment at least two weeks before the due date to avoid a late fee.
The due date on your bill is when Wilson Energy must receive the payment, not when you mail it. If you mail a check on the due date, it will likely arrive late. Keep a copy of the check or money order number for your records in case you need to track the payment later.
Paying in person at Wilson Energy's office
You can walk into Wilson Energy's office in Wilson during business hours and pay with cash, check, or card. Ask your bill for the office address and hours, or call 252-291-1411 to confirm they are open. In-person payments clear instantly, and you receive a receipt immediately.
This option works well if you prefer to hand over payment directly or need a same-day receipt for your records. Bring your account number or bill with you.
Setting up automatic payments to avoid late fees
Automatic payment, sometimes called autopay, withdraws money from your bank account or charges your card on a date you choose each month. You set it up once through Wilson Energy's website or by calling 252-291-1411, and the payment happens without you having to do anything.
Autopay prevents missed due dates and late fees. You can change the payment amount or pause autopay at any time. Some customers use autopay for the full bill amount; others set it for a fixed amount and pay the remainder manually. Check your bank or card statement each month to make sure the correct amount was withdrawn.
What happens if your payment is late
Wilson Energy charges a late fee if your payment is not received by the due date shown on your bill. The fee amount is listed in your service agreement or on your bill. Late fees add to your next bill, and repeated late payments can result in service disconnection.
If you know you will miss a due date, call Wilson Energy at 252-291-1411 as soon as possible. Some utilities offer short payment extensions or payment plans for customers facing hardship, though availability varies. Asking before the due date passes gives you the best chance of working out an arrangement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Wilson Energy bill with a credit card online?
Yes, Wilson Energy's website accepts credit cards for online payment. Be aware that your credit card company may charge a cash advance fee for utility payments, even though Wilson Energy does not charge a processing fee. Check with your card issuer before paying this way.
What if I pay online but my payment doesn't show up on my account?
Online payments typically post within one business day. If more than one business day has passed and you don't see the payment, call Wilson Energy at 252-291-1411 with your confirmation number. They can look up the payment and tell you when it will appear on your account.
Can I set up autopay for just part of my bill?
Yes. You can set autopay for a fixed amount less than your full bill, then pay the remainder manually each month. This works well if your bill varies and you want to cover a base amount automatically while adjusting the rest as needed.
Is there a fee for paying by phone?
Wilson Energy does not charge a fee for phone payments. If you use a credit card over the phone, your card issuer may charge a cash advance fee, just as they would for online payment.
How do I know if my mailed check was received?
Log into your account on Wilson Energy's website or call 252-291-1411 to check your payment history. Once the check clears, it will show on your account with the date received. Keep the check number and your bank statement for your records.
