National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation (“National Fuel” or the “Utility”) has partnered with InvoiceCloud, an EngageSmart solution for online bill payment services, to launch an improved, more user-friendly electronic billing and payment system for National Fuel customers.

The InvoiceCloud portal includes technologically advanced payment options preferred by customers, including pay-by-phone, pay by text, pay online, and the ability to pay using PayPal and other digital banking services. The InvoiceCloud portal launched to National Fuel customers on August 25, 2021.
“We launched a new and vastly improved website nearly a year ago and are pleased to take the next step in providing a bill pay portal system that is easy to navigate and provides our customers with more accessible, secure options.”
