Easily keep up with your utility bills with Alexa. Get an alert when you’re behind your normal payment date, your bill is higher than normal or your payment has problems clearing. Alexa answers questions about your utility bills and lets you securely pay your utility bill with just your voice.
To get started just say, “Alexa, when’s my electric bill due?” or “Alexa, pay my water bill”.
• For the first time, you will need to connect your utility account to Alexa. When prompted, provide Alexa with your utility provider’s name. • Alexa will attempt to look up your utility account using the name, billing address, and email stored in your Amazon account. Alexa will ask you for permission to do this. If you do not wish to have Alexa look up your account based on this information, she will alternately ask for permission to look up your account via the utility account number. • Once your account is successfully connected, Alexa will tell you the upcoming due date of your electric bill. Alexa will also be enabled to deliver notifications for your electric bill.
Other things to try:
"Alexa, how much is my electric bill?" “Alexa, is my gas bill higher than last month?” "Alexa, when's my water bill due?"
Frequent Asked Questions:
What is a bill notification?
When a yellow ring or an on-screen banner appears on your Alexa device, listen to the notifications by saying saying, “Alexa, read my notifications.” Notifications are meant to help you manage your bills but not overwhelm you. You’ll receive a due date notification only when the bill hasn’t been paid yet, not every time the bill is due. Alexa will give notifications only when asked.
How do I connect my utility account?
You can easily connect your utility account with Alexa. To set up each biller separately, just say “Alexa, connect my <electric/ water/ gas> bill.” By linking your gas, water, and electricity accounts to Alexa from your Alexa-enabled device, you can receive an alert when it looks like your payment will be late or your account has payment issues. You can also pay your utility bills with Alexa.
How do I manage Alexa bill notifications?
You can turn bill notifications on or off anytime in the Alexa App by tapping on the menu icon in the upper left and going to Settings, Notifications, Bill Planner, and then switching Notifications to ON or OFF.
How do I stop using Alexa for my bill?
Just say, “Alexa, disconnect my bill.” If you unlink an account, Alexa will stop giving you information about your bills and notifications about due dates and payments.
