Sign up for Bank Draft in May, get entered for a prize drawing!

BankDraft(131-b)

Horry Electric is working hard to encourage participation in our FREE Bank Draft program with a limited time offer to new participants.  “A member who qualifies and gets successfully signed up as a Bank Draft participant between May 1 and 11:59 PM on May 31, 2020, will be automatically entered into a prize drawing for one of ten $50 electric bill credits,” says Danny Shelley, executive vice president and CEO.   The bill credits will be awarded to the winning entrants on June 1, 2020.   Contest rules are outlined at the bottom of this blog post.

The Bank Draft program makes paying your electric bill easier. “You can pay your bill on time, every time – without having to write a check,” says Shelley. “It’s the easiest, safest, most convenient and least expensive way to pay your electric bill”.

When a member signs up, Horry Electric will begin automatically drafting the checking or savings account for the amount of the monthly electric bill the following billing period.”You’ll still get statements showing the kWh use and the amount due, but you won’t have to write a check, come to the office, or pay a visit to the night deposit box after hours,” explains Shelley, adding that the amount due is drafted on the bill due date.  “The other big benefit,” he continues, ” is there are no convenience fees!”

Please note that it may take a few days to process a request, so continue to pay the bill until “Bank Draft” appears on the statement you get in the mail.

The limited-time offer is for NEW participants only and Advance Pay participants are not eligible to participate.  The contest rules are outlined below.

The best way to sign up is to visit MyEnergy Online. “We will be creating a couple of videos to demonstrate how to sign up via mobile app or desktop and we will share those as soon as they are ready,” says Shelley. Members may also call Horry Electric during regular business hours at 843.369.2211 to learn more about getting signed up.
