CUSTOMER SERVICE UPDATE: FEB. 17, 2026 at 6:30 p.m: Credit and debit card payment options for online utility bills have been restored. City staff have worked with our online payment portal vendor, Invoice Cloud, to temporarily utilize a different card processing provider that enables our customers to resume using credit and debit cards for online utility bill payments. Since February 6, online utility bill payments using credit or debit cards were unavailable due to a system outage resulting from a cyber incident involving BridgePay, a third-party card processing vendor. BridgePay has confirmed this incident does not currently involve a card data breach.

Here’s what customers need to know:

Auto-Pay Customers:

--Payments scheduled from Feb. 16 onward will process as normal; no action is required.
--Auto-payments scheduled between Feb. 5 and Feb. 15 did not process. Customers will find instructions on their next bill regarding how to address this payment.

Late fees and service cutoffs will remain suspended until Monday, Feb. 23, to allow customers to adjust to the restoration of online card payments.

Anyone with questions or needing financial assistance paying their bill may contact Customer Service at 940-349-8700.

We thank our community for its patience and flexibility during this time. For any additional updates, continue to check www.cityofdenton.com/paymybill.
