To pay by mail, write your 10-digit account number on your check or money order along with your current bill stub. Make sure to allow 5-7 business days for your mailed payment to reach AEP and avoid late fees. While slow, paying by mail gives you a payment record and avoids online transaction fees.

For those who prefer paying bills face-to-face, AEP has authorized pay agents who accept cash, check or debit/credit card payments. Major retailers like Kroger, Walmart and Kmart allow you to pay your AEP bill in person locally. Simply bring your current AEP bill to the customer service desk at one of these retailers. Payments are fast and you’ll receive a payment receipt. This is a good option if you want to pay with cash or prefer in-person payments.
At a Kiosk
In select cities, AEP has installed self-service bill payment kiosks in high-traffic areas like grocery stores. These kiosks operate much like an ATM. You can insert cash or use a card to pay your bill. Kiosks print a payment receipt. They allow fast, convenient walk-up payment without having to wait in line. However, kiosks may charge a small transaction fee.
Drop Boxes
Some AEP local offices have secure drop boxes where you can drop off a check or money order payment. This allows you to pay your bill at any time without having to visit during business hours. However, drop box payments can take a day or more to process. It’s important to drop off payments 1-2 weeks before your due date in case of processing delays.

AutoPay
The most hassle-free way to pay your AEP bill is to enroll in auto-pay. This authorizes AEP to automatically withdraw funds from your bank account each month to pay your bill in full. You avoid late fees, save on postage and gain peace of mind knowing your bill is always paid on time. Just monitor your account balance to ensure sufficient funds when your bill is due. AEP also lets you setup auto-pay using a credit or debit card if preferred.
Payment Centers
As a last resort, you may need to visit an authorized AEP payment center in person to pay your bill. Staff can take a payment and provide an official receipt. Payment centers are located across AEP’s service area for convenience. While some payment centers charge a small fee, they guarantee your payment will be credited that day. This is a good backup option if you missed a payment deadline.
