We are excited to announce that BARC members can now pay their monthly electric bills at 15 participating local BB&T Bank locations.  This service is available to all BARC members, even if they don’t bank with BB&T!  Even better, this service is free of charge (there are no service fees)!

To use this new service, simply bring your bill to BB&T and go to the normal teller window.  They will take it from there.  Yes, it’s that simple. 

As a precaution, we ask that you allow two business days for payment processing.  So, if you are in the unfortunate position of paying late, make sure you contact BARC at 800-846-2272 and coordinate your payment at BB&T with member service representatives.
