Why do I have to pay a transaction fee?
- PG&E has partnered with an independent payment provider.
- This provider allows PG&E customers to pay with a credit or debit card on a one-time or recurring basis.
- The fees for these payments are set by credit card networks, payment processors and banks—not by PG&E.
- California Assembly Bill 746 restricts PG&E from passing these costs to all customers.
- Only those using this payment service are charged these fees.
- The last fee change occurred in 2017.
Don't want to pay a transaction fee?
- Sign into your account with your username and password.
- Make a one-time payment or schedule recurring payments from your checking or savings account for free.
