How to Pay the Bill
Paying your Novec bill couldn’t be easier. The company offers online and offline solutions for bill payment, but not all payment methods are fast. If your service is due to be disconnected in the near future, it is best to take payment in person to the nearest Novec office.
Pay online: You can pay your Novec bill online at https://www.novec.com/eBillinglogin.cfm?&CFID=4314406&CFTOKEN=91439892&jsessionid=bc305cbbd1129f23545a6f7e307843254530. This service is associated with the Novec cooperative, so customers need to register before making payment.
Pay with Speedpay: If you want to make a payment by phone or online without the hassle of talking with a customer service representative or registering for an online account, Speedpay is an option. Speedpay charges $2.45 per transaction. Customers can call 1-866-215-2703 or visit the Speedpay website to pay your Novec bill.
Pay by eCheck: The eCheck service is an automatic billing option available to all Novec customers. You must fill out an authorization form to have payment deducted from your bank account. This service is automatic, so payments will be deducted on the due date each month.
Pay by mail: Customers can choose to send payments by mail. This is the slowest payment option and should not be used if the account is past due or facing disconnection.
