Quick Pay

BTES offers several convenient ways to pay your bill.

Bank Draft

You may set up an automatic bank draft so that you never have to worry about writing a check or missing a payment because you’re on vacation. Customers' bank accounts are drafted the current amount due on the due date. Click here for the bank draft form. Please allow BTES at least ten business days to process your bank draft application. If your current bill is due within the next two weeks, please make arrangements to pay that bill using another method.
