Log into your OUC account through the official website
Go to ouc.com and look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Login" button, usually at the top right of the homepage. Click it to reach the login page. You will need your account number (found on your paper bill) and a password.
If you do not have a password yet, select "Forgot Password" or "New User" on the login page. OUC will ask you to verify your identity using your account number and the service address on file. Once verified, you can create a password and set up your online account.
After you log in, your account dashboard will show your current balance, due date, and payment history. From here you can pay your bill, view detailed usage, set up automatic payments, or download past bills.

Pay your bill as a one-time payment
Once logged in, select "Pay Now" or "Make a Payment." OUC will show your current balance and due date. Enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay the full balance or a partial amount.
Choose your payment method: debit card, credit card, or bank account transfer. OUC accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. If you pay by bank account (ACH transfer), there is no fee. Credit and debit card payments may include a processing fee, which OUC will disclose before you confirm.
Review the payment details and confirm. OUC will send you a confirmation number by email and display it on screen. Keep this number for your records. The payment typically posts to your account within one business day.
Set up automatic monthly payments
Automatic payments remove the need to log in each month. From your account dashboard, look for "Autopay," "Automatic Payments," or "Recurring Payments." Select the option to enroll.
Choose the payment method (bank account, debit card, or credit card) and the day of the month you want the payment to go through. OUC recommends choosing a date after your bill is issued but before the due date. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your online account.
Once enrolled, OUC will deduct the payment automatically each month. You will still receive a bill showing what was charged, so you can verify the amount is correct.
Troubleshoot login and payment problems
If you cannot remember your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page. OUC will send a reset link to the email address on file. Check your spam folder if you do not see it within a few minutes.
If your payment is rejected, the most common reasons are an expired card, insufficient funds, or a mismatch between the address on file and the address you entered. Review the error message OUC displays — it usually tells you what went wrong. Update your payment method and try again.
If you see a payment on your bill that you did not make, or if your account shows an incorrect balance, contact OUC directly at the phone number on your bill. Do not attempt another payment until you have spoken with them.
Understand what information you need before paying
Have your OUC bill in front of you before you log in. You will need your account number, which appears at the top of your paper bill and in your online account. You will also need the service address — the address where the meter is located, not necessarily your mailing address.
If you are paying someone else's bill, you will need their account number and service address. OUC does not allow you to pay a bill using only a customer name; the account number is required.
View your bill history and usage details
Once logged in, select "Billing History" or "Past Bills" to see statements from previous months. You can download bills as PDF files and print them or save them to your computer.
OUC also provides a usage breakdown showing how much energy you used each month and how your current usage compares to the same month last year. This information can help you spot unusual spikes in your bill or track whether energy-saving changes are working.
Contact OUC if you cannot pay online
If you do not have internet access or prefer to pay by phone, call OUC's customer service number listed on your bill. A representative can take a payment over the phone using a debit card, credit card, or bank account information.
You can also pay in person at an OUC office or authorized payment location. OUC's website lists payment centers in the Orlando area. Bring your account number and the payment amount in cash or check.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for my online payment to show up on my bill?
Payments typically post within one business day. If you pay before 5 p.m. on a business day, it usually appears the next day. Payments made on weekends or holidays may take longer to process.
Will I be charged a fee to pay my bill online?
Bank account (ACH) payments have no fee. Credit card and debit card payments include a processing fee set by OUC, which you can see before you confirm the payment. The fee is usually a small percentage of the amount you are paying.
Can I change my automatic payment date or amount?
Yes. Log into your account, go to your autopay settings, and update the payment date or method. Changes usually take effect within one or two billing cycles. You can also cancel autopay at any time and switch back to one-time payments.
What should I do if my payment was rejected?
Check the error message OUC displays — it usually explains why. Common reasons are an expired card, wrong address, or insufficient funds. Update your payment information and try again. If the problem continues, call OUC customer service.
Can I pay my bill if I do not have an online account yet?
You can pay without creating an account by calling OUC or visiting a payment center in person. To set up an online account, go to ouc.com, click "New User," and verify your identity with your account number and service address.
