Payment research for this provider
The compiled notes distinguish confirmed channels from details the public material did not expose. Fields containing only an unavailable-information marker are grouped in the research record below.
- Payment platform
- My Account portal operated for the utility group by Nexus Water Group; the public portal does not identify a separate transaction-gateway vendor.
- Phone payment number
- (888) 527-9707, then select Option 2. CUC's shared Fairbanks payment page describes this as a 24/7 interactive voice-response system for AMEX, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa card payments, balance and last-payment inquiries, and recurring card payments.
- Pay-by-text
- The portal supports text and phone notifications for payment reminders and service notices, but the CUC/Golden Heart Alaska payment page reviewed does not publish a separate SMS keyword, short code, or text-to-pay enrollment command. Customers enroll through the My Account portal using the 10-digit account number and five-digit service-address ZIP code; text-to-pay availability beyond notifications should be confirmed with Customer Service.
- Mail-in payment address
- Utility Services of Alaska, P.O. Box 1319, Covina, CA 91722-0319. Write the 10-digit account number on the check or money order, include the payment stub, and do not mail cash. The company warns against third-party bill-pay services because posting delays can cause late fees or disconnection.
- In-person payment
- The customer-service office is 3691 Cameron Street, Fairbanks, AK 99709, open Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; customer-service agents are available by phone Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Customers may pay at the office and may also pay cash or debit card at participating Walmart MoneyCenter or Customer Service desks by providing the utility name and account number and specifically requesting Walmart Bill Pay same-day processing. The shared utility tariff identifies the business office at 3691 Cameron Street, Suite 201, and lists weekday business hours of 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. excluding published holidays. Customers at risk of shutoff should retain the Walmart confirmation number and call the utility before 3:00 p.m. for turn-on coordination.
- Digital payment methods
- The My Account portal accepts one-time and automatic payments by AMEX, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa credit/debit card, digital wallets including Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and online banking/eCheck. Bank Auto Pay debits checking or savings accounts and is described as free. The IVR accepts AMEX, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa cards; business customers cannot use Visa or MasterCard in the portal but can pay online by check.
- Online convenience fees
- The CUC/Golden Heart Alaska payment page does not publish a fixed 2026 online card, eCheck, or digital-wallet convenience fee. Bank Auto Pay is expressly described as free; any fee for a particular payment channel or retailer must be shown during the transaction or confirmed with Customer Service at (907) 479-3118.
