The Convenience of Paying Your APS Bill at Walmart

Paying your utility bills can sometimes be a hassle. You may forget when they are due or not have time to go to the post office or utility company office to pay in person.

APS is the largest electric utility company in Arizona providing power to over 1 million customers across the state. As an APS customer, you likely receive a monthly or bi-monthly bill for your electricity usage.
