Advantages of Prepaid Energy
Prepaid energy service differs from regular post-pay energy service in that the customer receives a bill from the provider before the beginning of the service period.
Prepaid vs Post-paid electricity service comparison outlines the benefits of prepaid electricity vs. post-pay.
| Type of Energy | Deposit | Credit Check | Contract? |
| Prepaid | No | No | No |
| Post-paid | Yes (usually) | Yes | Varies |
In addition to no deposit, prepaid electricity customers are not required to pass a credit check. Why? Because credit checks and deposits are methods used by post-paid energy companies to ensure reliable payments. Companies that offer prepayment do not need these methods to ensure services will be paid.
