Use the Austin Electric Company with No Credit Check

Signing up for electricity is almost always the same: give us your social security number, and we’ll run a credit check to let you know how much of a deposit you’ll need to begin service. Fortunately, one power company is different: Pronto Power never asks for a social security number from their customers because they don’t run credit checks. How can we do that? Read below to find out how your local Austin electric company, Pronto Power, allows customers to begin service without a credit check.

Life beyond credit checks

Pronto Power has a great idea for its customers: offer prepaid service without the hassle of running a credit check. With our prepaid service, you add a small amount of money to your account before service begins. This money is yours and pays for the service you use. When your account runs low, simply add more funds from the convenience of your phone.

How does it work?

Prepaid service is just what it sounds like – you pay in advance for the service you use. With a small amount to begin service, you can add more funds at your convenience – once a week, once a month, when your paycheck clears the bank or whenever works for you. As long as your account contains at least 1¢, electricity continues to flow in your home.

How do I know how much is in my account?

Open the app on your phone to see your real-time usage and the funds remaining in your account. Also, every morning you’ll receive a text, email or both updating you on your current funds. You can also peek at your meter from the app to see how much power you’re using in real-time. You can change the rate electricity is used by lowering your thermostat this winter and then watch as your meter clicks away more slowly. Studies have proven that customers who can track how they use their power tend to use less.

Ready to add funds to your account? Log on and transfer the funds from your bank account to your Pronto Power account in an amount that fits your budget.

In the event your Pronto Power account is running low, call our caring customer service team for assistance. Your payment can be deferred until your next paycheck to allow you to catch up.

Even better, this service is free!
