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
- PayNearMe for the current one-time payment and retail cash-payment workflow; Citizens also provides its own My Account portal for account history, payment, budget billing, AutoPay, and alerts.
- Phone payment number
- 317-924-3310 for automated credit/debit/ATM-card payment instructions; Citizens customer support and water emergencies use 317-924-3311. The payment page says residential card payments through the phone channel have no fee, while commercial card payments are assessed a 3.5% service fee.
- Pay-by-text
- Citizens does not publish a conventional text-to-pay keyword or short code. Customers can enable account alerts and payment reminders through My Account; the official outage-alert notice says customers may receive notices when a bill is ready, due, posted, or unpaid, and Indiana 211 can be reached by texting a ZIP code to 898-211 for assistance referrals. Those text features are alerts or assistance navigation, not a Citizens utility payment enrollment flow.
- Mail-in payment address
- Citizens Energy Group, P.O. Box 7056, Indianapolis, IN 46207-7056. Customers may write one check for combined gas, water, and wastewater services where their accounts are combined.
- In-person payment
- Citizens' corporate office is 2020 North Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202. The main office has a 24-hour payment center with kiosks accepting cash, check, credit, and debit cards, and Citizens states that kiosk payments post immediately. Citizens also offers more than 300 authorized third-party payment sites, including CVS, Family Dollar, Kroger, Casey's and other listed retailers; PayNearMe permits cash payments using a reusable PayCode and the current one-time-payment page says participating retail payments have no service fee. Citizens states that customers can pay by cash, check, debit card, or card at authorized locations; customers should use the official payment-location search because individual retailer hours and instruments vary.
- Digital payment methods
- Checking or savings bank draft, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express credit/debit/ATM cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayNearMe smartphone wallet workflow, Citizens My Account AutoPay, Budget Billing, and bank bill pay. Residential customers have no published service fee for online/phone card payment on the current payment page; commercial card payments are assessed 3.5%. Cash and check are also accepted at kiosks and authorized locations.
- Online convenience fees
- The current Citizens payment page states no service fee for residential customers paying by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, debit/ATM card, bank draft, Google Pay, or Apple Pay; commercial customers are assessed a 3.5% card service fee. PayNearMe retail payments and the listed smartphone-payment workflow are described as having no service fee. The page does not publish a separate 2026 residential convenience surcharge.
