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
- InvoiceCloud; BPUB's authenticated account portal is also powered by SilverBlaze Solutions
- Phone payment number
- (956) 983-6121, BPUB's 24/7 automated InvoiceCloud payment line. The published limits are up to $10,000 for e-check and $1,000 for credit/debit cards; phone payments carry a $0.95 third-party processing fee.
- Pay-by-text
- BPUB's current Payment Options page confirms that InvoiceCloud offers Pay-by-text, but the public BPUB page does not expose a keyword, short code, or step-by-step enrollment URL in its rendered instructions. Customers should sign in to the BPUB/InvoiceCloud account portal and follow the Pay-by-text enrollment prompts, or call (956) 983-6121 during customer-service hours for the current opt-in workflow. The portal also supports one-time, scheduled, and AutoPay payments.
- Mail-in payment address
- Brownsville Public Utilities Board, P.O. Box 95221, Grapevine, TX 76099-9752. BPUB asks customers to mail payments at least five days before the due date to allow processing time.
- In-person payment
- BPUB Administration/Main Office, 1425 Robinhood Drive, Brownsville, Texas, has a 24/7 payment drop box; payments deposited after 3:00 p.m. are processed the next business day. The same site has five drive-through lanes open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; current portal materials also identify lobby and drive-up cash/check acceptance. BPUB lists 19 retail pay stations at participating H-E-B, Lopez, and El Globo stores; individual retailer hours and any federal cash or identification limits vary by site. The current official payment page does not publish a single consolidated counter-hours schedule beyond the drive-through hours.
- Digital payment methods
- InvoiceCloud accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and electronic check/ACH. Customers can make one-time payments without registration, schedule a payment, or enroll in AutoPay from a checking account or credit/debit card. Credit/debit card payments are limited to $1,000 per transaction; e-check AutoPay has no stated transaction limit up to the published phone limit.
- Online convenience fees
- Credit and debit card payments incur a merchant-service charge of $2.50 minimum or 1.95% of the transaction, whichever is greater. BPUB's public InvoiceCloud page identifies e-check/ACH, cash at pay stations, and check by mail as fee-avoidance alternatives. A separate $0.95 third-party processing fee applies to payments made through the 24/7 automated phone line.
