Lake Region Electric Cooperative
Pay-by-phone system:
Starting April 1st, all credit card payments will be completed using LREC’s interactive voice response (IVR) system. If a member has a stored payment method on file (credit card or checking account), our customer service team can still process that payment, but they can no longer take credit card information over the phone.
This change is the result of LREC needing to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. These worldwide requirements are designed to help organizations like LREC prevent fraud through increased data controls and security standards. Moving to this system ensures LREC can continue to accept debit and credit cards, along with check payments over the phone, in the most secure way possible.
Features include:
- A new user-friendly interface
- Enroll in automatic bill payments
