Direct debit

Where you have one AGL account number for your gas and electricity accounts, this Direct Debit agreement is applicable to both your gas and electricity bills.
This service is not available on some passbook savings accounts.
Any changes to your direct debit arrangements, including new card or bank details or to terminate the arrangement, must be provided to AGL at least three business days prior to the next payment.
Bank transaction fees and Government taxes may apply.
Payments falling on a non-business day will be deducted from your nominated financial account on the next business day.
If your energy account has an overdue amount prior to the Direct Debit agreement commencing, this amount will be debited from your nominated financial account within three business days of the receipt of this authority.
If sufficient funds are not available in your nominated financial account at the time of processing a payment, a dishonour fee may be charged by both your financial institution and AGL to cover reasonable administrative and processing costs.
AGL may discontinue your Direct Debit arrangement if two consecutive payments are refused by your financial institution. You must then pay your energy bills using another AGL payment option.
To terminate your Direct Debit agreement you must notify AGL or your financial institution at least three business days prior to your next payment. If you cancel your Direct Debit authority by notifying your financial institution, you must use your best endeavours to notify AGL as soon as practicable after the cancellation.
If you cancel your Direct Debit authority, we will no longer rely on this Direct Debit authority. If you are leaving AGL, a final account will be sent to you and the amount due will be debited from your nominated financial account.
AGL reserves the right to, at any time, withdraw this product or stop or change a Direct Debit agreement with 14 days prior notice. In the event that AGL ceases to trade, all payment plans will be cancelled immediately and both you and your financial institution will be notified. Contact AGL Customer Service 24/7 on 131 245 for assistance or if you have a dispute about any agreement details.

Monthly billing

By requesting monthly billing for one of your energy accounts, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions for that account:

You may request a day of the month on which we will issue your bill. You can change the selected day of month, however, AGL may refuse to change the requested day of month if such a change would result in a bill not being issued for more than 1 month.
To issue your bill on the day of the month requested, that day and the previous day must be business days. Where we are unable to issue your bill on the day of the month requested, we will issue your bill no later than two business days from the requested day of the month.
If the day of the month requested does not exist in a particular month, then we will issue your bill for the period ending on the last day of that month, in accordance with clause 2.
Subject to clauses 2 and 3, your first monthly bill will be issued on the requested day of the month.
You will receive your bills each month via email (eBilling). You will not receive bills via post.
If we are unable to base your monthly bill on an actual reading of your meter, we may base your bill on the actual data that is available to us or estimate the meter read for billing purposes. You agree that we may base this estimate upon:
i. Your own read;
ii. Your historical metering data; or
iii. If there is no historical metering data available, the average usage of energy by a comparable customer over the corresponding period.
You must continue to provide access to your meter for meter reading purposes.
You may contact AGL to cancel your monthly billing arrangements via AGL Energy Online, by writing to us, by post or email at least 5 business days in advance.
If you cancel your monthly billing arrangement, your bill cycle will change to a quarterly billing cycle for your account, except for Victorian gas accounts, which will change to a bi-monthly billing cycle. Your next bill following cancellation will be on a quarterly cycle, unless it would be issued more than three months from the date of cancellation. If this is the case then you will receive one last monthly bill before returning to a quarterly bill cycle.
Agreeing to a monthly billing arrangement does not affect your payment obligations relating to bill smoothing, payment plans or to any amounts owing on other AGL accounts where you do not have a monthly billing arrangement.
Monthly billing may not be available for all contract types, including where supply is unmetered, measured through a stand alone bulk hot water meter or measured through a manually read interval meter.
From time to time, AGL may notify you of changes to the eligibility requirements and may ask you to meet any additional requirements.
