You can pay your Tokyo Electric Power Company bill by direct debit, credit card, or electronic funds transfer. Although there does not seem to be much difference between the methods, some payment methods have distinct advantages.

First look at direct debit, in which payment for your electric bill is automatically withdrawn from your savings account each month. This requires no effort on your part and you receive a 52.50 yen discount each month. This small savings adds up to a total annual discount of 630 yen.

As for the other two methods, if you pay your bill by credit card you will not receive the TEPCO direct debit discount, but depending on your contract, you may receive points when paying your credit card bill. Also, if you use the TEPCO Switch! Card, you can also pay for water, gas, newspaper, and other services and utilities as well as electric bill and receive double points for all your payments. Before you know it, you may have earned a lot of points just by paying your public utility bills.

Then there's also funds transfer, which takes some effort to make a payment into banks or directly into Tokyo Electric Power Company with a special form. It used to have to wait a week after your meter was read, but recently it is possible to generate the payment form when your meter is read.

Please choose the payment method that's best for you.
