Payment Options

No more checks to write or bills to mail. Pay your bills each month with automatic deductions from your checking or savings account using REA’s Automatic Bank Pay form or sign up through SmartHub.

Each month your bill is paid automatically by a credit card you designate. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Sign up through SmartHub and use SmartHub to update credit card information, such as the expiration date.

With a simple phone call and by using the easy-to-follow prompts, you can make payments with a check, credit or debit card 24 hours a day! If so desired, you are also able to store your information for future payments. Call 1-855-941-3549 toll-free. You will need your account number to make a payment.

REA’s SmartHub online bill payment allows you to make payments 24 hours a day from anywhere as long as you have internet access. We accept VISA, Master Card, Discover & American Express as well as payment from your checking account.
