To prevent late fees and possible nterruption of electric service we recommend you do one of the following:

• Put a credit card or bank account on file with the cooperative and contact Tideland whenever you want to authorize a payment. You can email us from outside the country or make an international phone call to our 24-hour call center to initiate the one-time payment.
• Enroll in bank or credit card draft so Tideland can automatically initiate the payment year-round regardless of where you are at any given time.
• Use Tideland’s member portal payment scheduling service to authorize a transaction before you leave the country.
• Use your own financial institution’s payment scheduling features to initiate a payment.
• Make a prepayment on your electric account before you travel. One of our service representatives will be glad to advise you on what a reasonable prepayment may be based on your past billing history.
