There are several easy ways to pay your Weakley County Municipal Electric System (WCMES) bill. If you are a WCMES customer, you can pay online, over the phone, in person at a number of locations, or by setting up automatic bank drafts. This full guide will show you how to pay your electric bill in Weakley County in every way.
Pay Online
Online bill payment is the fastest and easiest way to pay your WCMES electric bill. To pay online go to https //wcmes. utilitynexus. com/make-a-payment. You will need your 12-digit account number and payment information.
Online bill pay is available 24/7 so you can pay at your convenience. As soon as you submit payment, your WCMES account will reflect that a payment has been made. However the payment amount will not post to your account until overnight processing is complete.
A convenience fee is added to each online payment transaction. This fee goes to the third-party processor, not WCMES.
Pay Through the WCMES App
Like online bill pay, the WCMES app allows you to pay your electric bill from anywhere at any time. Download the app on your Apple or Android device by clicking the app store buttons on https://www.wcmes.com/pay-my-bill/.
After getting the app, use your account number and payment information to sign in. The app can do more than just pay bills. For example, it can keep track of how much electricity is used and manage account information.
Pay by Phone
To pay your WCMES electric bill by phone, call 1-888-643-1082. You will need to enter your 12-digit account number and payment details.
A convenience fee applies to phone payments. Since payments are processed overnight, if you pay by phone, the money will not show up in your account right away.
Pay In Person
You can pay your WCMES electric bill in person at several locations in Weakley County and the surrounding area. Bring your account number and payment. Locations include:
- WCMES Office: 11181 Hwy. 22, Martin, TN 38237

Be sure to confirm office hours before visiting a pay location, as hours vary. Paying in person allows you to avoid convenience fees.
Set Up Bank Draft Payments
For automatic bill payment each month, consider enrolling in the WCMES bank draft program. This authorizes WCMES to automatically withdraw the amount of your bill from your bank account around the monthly discount date.
To enroll, bring a voided check and photo ID to the WCMES office at 11181 Hwy. 22 in Martin, TN. Each month, you will receive a statement marked “Memorandum only; do not pay” so you know the bank draft amount.
Automatic bank drafts ensure your electric bill is paid on time each month to avoid late fees. It’s one less bill to worry about!
Payment Processing Times and Late Fees
Whether you pay online, through the app, by phone, or in person, your payment will not immediately post to your WCMES account due to overnight processing. If your account is disconnected for nonpayment, call WCMES after submitting payment to have your service restored.
WCMES bills are due by the discount date each month. Payments made after the discount date incur a late fee. If your payment is postmarked by the USPS on the due date, it will not be considered late.
If your bill remains unpaid for 7 days past the due date, you will receive a written notice that your service will be disconnected in 5 days if payment is not made. Please pay the past due amount before that date to avoid service interruption.
