PAPERLESS E-BILLING

Wyse customers currently receiving paper bills can easily convert to paperless e-billing – that means your monthly bill will arrive conveniently in the inbox of the email address we have on file for you. The move to paperless billing reduces the number of touch points during the billing process, supports the government direction to stay home and has a positive impact on the environment.

Residents receiving paper bills can request to convert to e-billing before the next billing cycle via the Wyse Customer Portal.
