My Personal Experience with FPL Online Bill Pay
When I first moved to Florida, I was still in the dark ages of writing checks for everything. My first few months, I actually forgot to pay my FPL bill on time and got hit with a late fee. Not fun! After that embarrassing (and costly) mistake, I decided to try their online payment system.
The setup process took me maybe 5 minutes tops. I just needed my account number from my bill and my banking information. The first month after setting it up, I actually waited until the day before the due date to test it out (I was still skeptical!). To my surprise, my payment posted immediately, and I got a confirmation email within seconds.
Since then, I’ve been a huge fan of the FPL online payment system. I’ve even set up automatic payments so I don’t have to remember to log in each month. My bill gets paid on time, every time, with zero effort on my part. It’s one less thing to worry about!
