Flex for utilities
Reduce delinquencies and disconnections with flexible utility payments
Flex lets customers split their monthly utility bills into payments that fit their budget, while providers collect in full and on time, every month.
Rising utility costs are now a delinquency and revenue risk
As utility bills outpace household budgets, more customers are falling behind, creating a cycle of delinquency, disconnections, and recovery costs. Flexible payments help customers stay current while giving providers a way to break that cycle.
Energy costs are rising
Utility costs have surged 41% since 2020, with average bills at $424 per month. Even customers who want to pay on time can't always absorb the full amount at once.
Americans are struggling to keep up
U.S. households owe $20 billion in delinquent energy bills, up 67% from pre-pandemic levels. This growing debt leads to disconnections, collections costs, and write-offs.
$25B in annual customer bills paid annually by Flex. $3B in utility payments.
