As someone who’s been an Ozarks Electric Cooperative customer for years I’ve tried pretty much every payment method they offer. Let me walk you through all your options to make bill payment as painless as possible.
What is OzarksGo and MyOzarks?
Before diving into payment methods, let’s clarify what we’re talking about OzarksGo is the fiber internet and phone service provided by Ozarks Electric Cooperative If you have their service, you’ll need to pay your bill through their payment system.
MyOzarks is their account management platform – basically your one-stop-shop for everything related to your account, including bill payments. It’s available on the web and as an app for both iOS and Android devices.
The Easiest Way to Pay: MyOzarks Account
Without a doubt the most convenient way to handle your OzarksGo bill payments is through your MyOzarks account. Here’s why I love it

Payment Methods Supported in MyOzarks
When you log into your MyOzarks account, you have several options for payment:
