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
- Paymentus Corp. for Quick Pay; the City Utility Billing account portal also presents Standard Access, Premium Access, recurring payment, and service-request functions.
- Phone payment number
- 612-673-1114, option 2. The City accepts automated phone payments through Utility Billing; bank-account payments are fee-free while card payments incur the published processing fee.
- Mail-in payment address
- Minneapolis Finance Department, P.O. Box 77028, Minneapolis, MN 55480-7728. Customers should write the utility account number on the check and enclose the payment coupon so the payment is applied to the correct account.
- In-person payment
- The City directs in-person utility payments to the Minneapolis Service Center at the Public Service Building, 505 Fourth Ave. S., Skyway level, Minneapolis, MN 55415. The counter is open 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Friday, excluding City holidays. Utility Billing customer-service staff are at Room 620B, 505 Fourth Ave. S., and are available 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Monday–Friday. The current payment page does not publish a definitive desk-by-desk list of accepted counter instruments, so customers should confirm cash, check, or card acceptance before traveling. For cash without an in-person City visit, the City lists CVS, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Love's, Office Depot/OfficeMax, and Walgreens barcode locations; the published retail method is free. City service and water-treatment buildings at 4100 Marshall St. NE, Fridley, are not public payment counters.
- Digital payment methods
- Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, eCheck/ACH, bank bill pay, and automatic payment from a checking or savings account. The online account can provide Quick Pay, Standard Access, Premium Access, recurring payments, and e-billing. The City also supports fee-free cash payments at participating retail barcode locations.
- Online convenience fees
- The City's current 2026 payment notice states that credit-card payments carry a 2.35% processing fee beginning June 1, 2026; the City does not retain the processing fee. eCheck and checking/savings automatic payments have no fee. Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal are listed as fee-bearing digital-wallet methods, but the City does not publish a separate wallet-specific amount on the reviewed page.
