OEC's PrePay a Viable Option for all Types of Members

Did you know OEC offers an alternative method of billing in addition to the traditional 'use now, pay later' option? In fact, OEC was the first co-op in Oklahoma to recognize a prepaid billing option could be a revolutionary alternative to traditional billing. Today, more than 14 years later, thousands of members enjoy the benefits of OEC PrePay.

"At the time, very few co-ops in the nation were looking at ways for members to prepay for their electricity," said Jonna Buck, vice president of administration. "Several, if not all, cell phone providers were offering prepaid services, and we thought 'why can't we?' It has turned out to be a great options for a lot of people."
