Pay SCE Bill Online or In Person | Southern California Edison Guide

Southern California Edison (SCE) customers have multiple convenient options to pay their electric bills, including fast guest payments online or by phone, full account management through My Account, in-person payments at authorized locations, and traditional mail. SCE also offers Auto Pay and payment arrangement options for those who need flexibility.

Guest Pay / One-Time Payment (No Account Login Required)

SCE offers a convenient one-time payment option that allows you to pay without creating an account or logging in.

Ways to make a guest/one-time payment:

  • Online: Visit https://www.sce.com/my-account/pay-my-bill and select the guest payment option. You can pay with a credit or debit card, digital wallet (Venmo, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay), or checking account.
  • By Phone: Call 1-800-284-2365 and follow the automated prompts. Have your account number ready.

This option is ideal for quick payments when you don’t want to register for a full My Account.
