How to pay your Spire bill through their website
Go to www.spireenergy.com and select the "Pay Bill" option from the main menu. You will need your account number (found on your bill) and either a bank account or debit card to complete the payment. Spire processes most online payments the same business day if submitted before their cutoff time, which varies by region but is typically mid-afternoon.
The payment page will show your current balance and let you choose to pay the full amount or a partial payment. You can also set up a one-time payment or schedule a recurring automatic payment if you want the same amount withdrawn on the same date each month. Keep your confirmation number — Spire emails it to you, but having it written down helps if you need to check on the payment status later.
If you do not have online access or prefer not to use the website, Spire also accepts payments by phone, mail, and in person at authorized payment locations. The phone number for your region is on your bill.

What information you need before you start
Have your Spire bill in front of you. You will need your account number, which appears near the top of the bill. If you have already set up an online account with Spire, you can log in with your username and password instead of entering your account number each time.
For the payment itself, you will need either a checking or savings account number and routing number, or a debit card number with expiration date and CVV (the three-digit code on the back). Spire does not accept credit cards for bill payment. If you are paying by bank account, have a voided check or your bank statement handy so you have the correct routing number.
Timing: when the payment reaches Spire
Online payments submitted before the daily cutoff (usually 2 or 3 p.m. in your time zone) post to your account the same business day. Payments submitted after the cutoff or on weekends and holidays are processed the next business day. This means a payment made on Friday evening will not show in your account until Monday.
If your due date is coming up and you are cutting it close, call Spire before paying online to confirm the cutoff time for your region. A late payment can trigger a reconnection fee or service interruption even if you paid before the due date — the timing depends on when Spire actually receives and records the payment, not when you submit it.
Setting up automatic payments to avoid missed due dates
From the payment page on www.spireenergy.com, you can choose to make the payment recurring. Select the amount, the day of the month you want it withdrawn, and how long you want it to continue. Spire will deduct that amount from your bank account or debit card on the date you choose each month.
Automatic payments work well if your bill amount stays roughly the same month to month. If your bill varies significantly with the season (heating in winter, cooling in summer), you may want to set the automatic amount lower and pay any difference manually, or adjust the automatic amount quarterly. You can change or cancel an automatic payment anytime through your online account.
What to do if the payment does not show up
Check your account on www.spireenergy.com within 24 hours of paying. Your payment should appear in the transaction history even if the balance has not updated yet. If you do not see it listed, note the confirmation number you received and call Spire's customer service number (on your bill) to confirm they received it.
If Spire received the payment but it has not posted after 48 hours, ask them to manually post it while you wait. If there is a problem with your bank account or card (insufficient funds, expired card, wrong routing number), Spire will contact you — usually by phone or email — and you will need to resubmit the payment with corrected information.
Other ways to pay if the website is not working
If www.spireenergy.com is down or you cannot access it, you have three other options. Call the customer service number on your bill to pay by phone using the same bank account or debit card information. Mail a check or money order to the address shown on your bill — allow 7 to 10 business days for it to arrive and post. Or find an authorized payment location near you, usually a grocery store or utility payment center, where you can pay in cash or card in person.
If your service is about to be shut off and you cannot reach Spire online or by phone, visiting a payment location in person is the fastest way to make sure your payment is recorded before the cutoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Spire charge a fee to pay online?
No. Spire does not charge a fee for paying through their website with a bank account. Some third-party payment processors charge a small fee if you use certain payment methods, but Spire's own website payment tool is free.
Can I pay someone else's Spire bill from my account?
No. The online payment system only allows you to pay the account associated with the account number you enter. If you want to pay a family member's bill, they need to set up a third-party authorization in their account first, or you can pay in person at an authorized location with their account number and a check or cash.
What happens if I pay more than I owe?
The overpayment stays in your account as a credit and reduces your next bill. If you want a refund instead, contact Spire's customer service and they can process one, though it may take a few weeks.
Is it safe to enter my bank account number on the Spire website?
Spire's payment page uses encryption to protect your information. However, if you are uncomfortable entering your bank details online, you can pay by phone, mail, or in person instead.
Can I set up automatic payments if I do not have an online account?
You will need to create a free online account on www.spireenergy.com to set up automatic payments. It takes a few minutes and only requires your account number and email address.
