How to make a payment 

You have the following options for making your payment:

Through your bank

You can pay using online and telephone banking. When you set up Hydro Ottawa as a payee, use the unique 20-digit reference number printed on your invoice. Do not save this number as a recurring payee because you will get a new reference number with each new invoice.

Credit or debit card

You can pay your invoice online using a MasterCard, Visa or American Express credit card. We also accept MasterCard or Visa debit cards. Once your transaction is complete, we’ll send you a confirmation number. 

You can also pay over the phone by calling (613) 738-6400. Have your account number and credit card information ready before you start the payment process. Once your transaction is complete, we’ll send you a confirmation number. We do not accept debit card payments over the phone, only credit cards.

About credit and debit payments

Credit and debit payments take a minimum of 3-5 business days to process. You will be charged a service fee equal to 1.75 per cent of the total payment, which is charged by the card provider. Hydro Ottawa does not receive any portion of this fee. There is no maximum amount per transaction. If a payment is returned for non-sufficient funds, a charge will be applied to your account. For more information, see our Other Charges page.

Electronic funds transfer (EFT) 

To speed up the process, send your payment through an electronic transfer. You can find our bank information on the reverse side of your invoice. After you complete the transfer, email your 20-digit reference number and the payment amount to [email protected]. We'll apply the payment to your account.
