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.

Why providers choose Flex

Get paid in full, on time—at no cost to providers*
Support your customers with greater flexibility while keeping your operations running smoothly. Receive the full payment when it's due. Flex handles the split on the customer side, reducing financial risk and creating zero operational cost for your business.
Reduce delinquencies and lower call center costs
Billing-related calls can account for 40-90% of utility call center volume, with each call costing around $10. Flex helps customers stay current with more manageable payments, reducing delinquency-related calls, improving on-time collection, and lowering operational overhead.
Reach more customers than traditional payment tools
Apple Pay, PayPal, and payment plans all require an existing credit card or strong credit history—leaving the riskiest customers without a viable option. Flex has high approval rates for subprime applicants and doesn't require a credit card to apply, so providers can offer a flexible payment solution to the customers who need it most, without taking on additional risk.

*Some providers opt to pay for Flex for their customers
