How to Pay Your Salt River Project Bill Online
What Salt River Project Bill Pay Does
Salt River Project (SRP) bill pay lets you pay your electric or water bill through SRP's website or mobile app instead of mailing a check or paying in person. You can set up a one-time payment or schedule recurring payments on dates you choose. The service is free, and payments typically post to your account within one to two business days.
SRP serves central Arizona, including Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, and surrounding areas. If you receive an SRP bill for electricity or water service, you can use their bill pay system. You do not need to sign up for a separate service — bill pay is built into your SRP account.

How to Make a One-Time Payment Online
Log into your SRP account at srpnet.com using your username and password. If you do not have an online account yet, you can create one by clicking "Create Account" and entering your account number and service address. Once you are logged in, look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment" option on the dashboard.
Click on that option and enter the amount you want to pay. You can pay your full bill balance, a partial amount, or more than you owe. Next, choose your payment method: bank account (checking or savings) or debit card. If you choose bank account, you will enter your routing number and account number. If you choose debit card, you will enter your card number, expiration date, and CVV.
Review the payment details and confirm. SRP will show you the expected posting date — usually one to two business days from the date you submit the payment. You will receive a confirmation number on screen and via email. Keep this number for your records.
Setting Up Automatic or Scheduled Payments
If you want to pay the same amount on the same date every month, you can set up an automatic payment. Log into your SRP account, go to "Pay My Bill," and select "Set Up Automatic Payments" or "Recurring Payment." Choose the amount (your full bill, a fixed dollar amount, or a percentage), the payment method, and the date each month when you want the payment to go through.
You can also schedule individual payments for future dates without making them automatic. This is useful if you want to pay on payday or on a specific date each month but do not want a truly automatic recurring payment. Select "Schedule a Payment" and choose the date you want the payment to post. SRP will process it on that date.
You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time by logging into your account and editing your payment settings. If you cancel a recurring payment, make sure you have another way to pay your bill so you do not miss a due date.
Using the SRP Mobile App to Pay
read the SRP mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Log in with the same username and password you use on the website. The app shows your current bill balance, due date, and usage information.
To make a payment, tap "Pay My Bill" or the payment icon. Enter the amount, select your payment method (bank account or debit card), and confirm. The process is the same as paying on the website. You will receive a confirmation number and email receipt.
The mobile app also lets you set up automatic payments and scheduled payments the same way you would on the website. Many people find the app faster for quick payments because you do not have to open a web browser.
Payment Methods and Timing
SRP accepts two payment methods through their bill pay system: a bank account (checking or savings) and a debit card. They do not accept credit cards for online payments. If you pay by bank account, there is no fee. If you pay by debit card, SRP charges a convenience fee — the amount varies and is shown before you confirm the payment.
Payments typically post within one to two business days. This means the money leaves your bank account and shows as paid on your SRP bill within that window. Weekends and holidays may delay posting. If your bill is due on a specific date and you are cutting it close, submit your payment at least two business days before the due date to be safe.
If you pay after the due date, SRP may charge a late fee. The amount depends on your bill and SRP's current policy. You can still pay online even if you are late — the late fee will be added separately if it applies.
What to Do If Your Payment Does Not Post
If you submitted a payment and it has been more than two business days and you do not see it on your account, log back into SRP and check your payment history. Look for the confirmation number you received when you made the payment. If the payment shows as "pending" or "processing," wait another day or two.
If the payment shows as "failed" or does not appear in your history at all, the payment may not have gone through. This can happen if there was an error with your bank account or debit card information, or if your bank rejected the transaction. Check your bank account to see if the money was withdrawn. If it was not, try making the payment again with the same or a different payment method.
If the money was withdrawn from your bank account but SRP shows no record of the payment, contact SRP customer service at 602-236-8833 (Phoenix area) or 1-888-SRP-5570 (toll-free). Have your confirmation number ready. SRP can trace the payment and credit your account if there was a processing error.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my SRP bill by phone instead of online?
Yes. You can call SRP customer service at 602-236-8833 (Phoenix area) or 1-888-SRP-5570 (toll-free) and pay over the phone using a bank account or debit card. A representative will process the payment for you. There may be a convenience fee for debit card payments, similar to online payments.
What if I do not have a bank account or debit card?
You can pay in person at an SRP payment center, by mail with a check, or through a third-party payment service. SRP lists payment locations and methods on their website. Some locations accept cash. Mail payments take longer to post, so send them at least one week before your due date.
Can I pay someone else's SRP bill if I have their account number?
You can make a payment toward an SRP account if you have the account number, but you cannot log into that account unless you are the account holder or have been added as an authorized user. Contact SRP to add someone to your account if you want them to be able to pay your bill or view your account online.
Is there a fee to use SRP bill pay?
Paying by bank account is free. Paying by debit card includes a convenience fee set by SRP, which is shown before you confirm the payment. The fee is typically a few dollars depending on your payment amount. Credit cards are not accepted.
What happens if I pay more than my bill balance?
The extra amount becomes a credit on your account. SRP will explore it to your next bill, or you can request a refund. Contact SRP customer service to request a refund if you prefer not to carry a credit balance.
