Where to pay Evergy and what each method requires

Evergy operates electric and natural gas utilities across Kansas and Missouri. You can pay your bill through their website at evergy.com, by phone, by mail, or in person at a payment center. The method you choose depends on how quickly you need the payment processed and whether you want to set up automatic payments.

Online payment through evergy.com is the fastest route and lets you see your balance when ready. Phone payments go through within one business day. Mail payments take seven to ten business days to reach Evergy's processing center, so send them early if your due date is near. In-person payments at authorized locations are processed the same day.

Key Takeaways

  • Online payment at evergy.com requires your account number and a checking account, debit card, or credit card, and processes within one business day.
  • Phone payments are made by calling 1-888-254-8508 and take one business day to post to your account.
  • Mail payments should be sent to the address on your bill at least ten days before the due date to avoid late fees.
  • Automatic payments through evergy.com remove the need to pay manually each month and can be set to withdraw on a date you choose.

Paying online through evergy.com

To pay online, go to evergy.com and select "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment" from the homepage. You will need your account number, which appears on your bill or in any Evergy correspondence. Enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment method: checking account, debit card, or credit card.

Payments made before 5 p.m. Central Time on a business day post to your account the next business day. If you pay after 5 p.m. or on a weekend, the payment posts the following business day. Evergy does not charge a fee for online payments made from a checking account or debit card. Credit card payments incur a processing fee that Evergy discloses before you confirm the payment.

You can also set up a one-time payment or enroll in automatic monthly payments during the online process. Automatic payments deduct the full bill amount on a date you select each month, so you do not have to remember to pay.

Paying by phone

Call Evergy's payment line at 1-888-254-8508 to pay by phone. Have your account number and payment method ready. You can pay with a checking account, debit card, or credit card. The automated system will walk you through the process and confirm your payment amount before charging you.

Phone payments are processed within one business day. Like online payments, there is no fee for checking account or debit card payments, but credit card payments carry a processing fee. If you prefer to speak with a representative, you can request one during the call, though wait times vary.

Paying by mail

Mail payments should be sent to the address printed on your bill. Include your account number on the check or money order, and mail it at least ten days before your due date. Evergy's processing center takes five to seven business days to receive and post mail payments, so sending early prevents late fees.

Do not send cash through the mail. Make checks or money orders payable to Evergy. If you are paying a past-due balance, note the account number clearly so the payment is applied to the correct account.

In-person payment locations

Evergy has authorized payment centers in Kansas and Missouri where you can pay in person. Payments made at these locations are processed the same day. You can find the nearest location by entering your zip code on evergy.com under "Payment Locations" or by calling 1-888-254-8508.

In-person payments can be made by cash, check, debit card, or credit card. Bring your account number or bill to speed up the process. Hours vary by location, so check before you visit.

Setting up automatic payments

Automatic payments remove the need to pay manually each month. You can enroll through evergy.com by selecting "Automatic Payments" or "Recurring Payments" and choosing a withdrawal date. Payments are deducted from your checking account or debit card on the date you select each month.

You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your online account or by calling 1-888-254-8508. If your bill amount varies month to month, Evergy will deduct the full amount due each billing cycle. Some customers enroll in budget billing through Evergy, which averages your annual costs and charges the same amount each month; automatic payments work with budget billing as well.

What to do if your payment does not post

If you made a payment and it has not appeared on your account after the expected time, log into your account on evergy.com and check the payment status. Online and phone payments show a confirmation number when ready; keep this for your records.

If a payment was rejected, Evergy will notify you by email or phone with the reason — usually an incorrect account number, expired card, or insufficient funds. Correct the issue and submit the payment again. If you believe a payment was processed but not credited, call 1-888-254-8508 with your confirmation number and the payment date.
