The Commonwealth Utilities Corp. assured last week that it accepts the CNMI stimulus card as payment for utility bills, installation, and other fees and charges, including pre-pay load. <\/p>\n
However, the stimulus cards cannot be used to directly purchase prepaid electricity usage online through CUC\u2019s PayGo portal due to the stimulus cards\u2019 \u201clocal restrictions.\u201d To resolve this, customers can \u201cvisit a CUC payment branch on any island and a CUC representative can assist you to pre-pay load for your PayGo account.\u201d<\/p>\n
The stimulus cards are georestricted to purchases within the CNMI, as the intention of the stimulus cards is to boost CNMI-based businesses, according to a Frequently Asked Questions section of the CNMI Department of Finance website. Although CUC is CNMI-based, the main website for PayGo is U.S.-based, and as such a transaction on the PayGo website using the stimulus card will be barred.<\/p>\n
PayGo is an online utilities-billing solution used by utilities companies throughout the United States to offer customers pre-paid or post-paid account options for utilities payments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
