Paying your Spire bill through their website
Spire Energy's online bill pay system is at www.spireenergy.com. You log in with your account number and password, then select the amount you want to pay and the date it should process. The payment goes directly to Spire and typically posts within one to two business days. You do not need to set up anything in advance — you can pay a single bill without enrolling in autopay or creating a payment profile.
The website accepts payments from a checking or savings account (ACH transfer) or a debit card. Credit card payments are not accepted through the website. If you pay by ACH, there is no fee. Debit card payments carry a small fee that Spire will show you before you confirm the transaction.
You will need your account number, which appears on your bill or in any Spire email. If you do not have a password yet, the website has a "Forgot Password" link that will send a reset code to the email address on file with your account.

What happens after you submit payment
Once you confirm your payment, Spire shows a confirmation number on the screen. Write this down or take a screenshot — you will need it if you contact Spire later to ask about the payment status. The confirmation number is also sent to the email address on your account.
ACH payments (from your bank account) typically post within one to two business days. Debit card payments may post faster, sometimes the same day, but Spire does not may provide a specific timeline for debit transactions. If your payment is due on a specific date, submit it at least three business days early to be safe.
Your online account will show the payment as "pending" until it fully processes. Once it posts, your account balance updates and the payment moves to your payment history. You can view all past payments by logging back into www.spireenergy.com and looking for a "Payment History" or "Account Activity" section.
If you cannot log in or the website is not working
If you forget your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Spire will email a reset link to the address on file. If you do not receive the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder or try again with a different email address if you have one associated with your account.
If the website itself is down or you see an error message, try again in a few minutes. Spire occasionally performs maintenance on their site, usually during off-peak hours. If the problem persists, you can call Spire's customer service line (the number is on your bill) to pay by phone instead, or mail a check to the address shown on your statement.
If you are locked out after multiple failed login attempts, the website will temporarily block further tries. Wait 15 to 30 minutes before trying again, or use the "Forgot Password" option to reset your credentials.
Paying without creating an online account
You do not have to use the website to pay Spire. You can mail a check to the address on your bill, paying by phone through their automated system (the number is on your statement), or set up a payment through your own bank's bill pay feature. Some banks let you send a payment directly to Spire without logging into Spire's website at all.
If you choose to pay through your bank's bill pay system, use the mailing address from your Spire bill and your account number as the reference. Your bank will mail the check on your behalf, so allow extra time for delivery — typically five to seven business days.
Setting up autopay if you want recurring payments
If you want Spire to automatically deduct your bill each month, you can set up autopay through www.spireenergy.com after you log in. Look for an "Autopay" or "Recurring Payments" option in your account settings. You choose whether to pay the full bill amount each month or a fixed dollar amount you specify.
Autopay deductions happen on a date you select, usually around the time your bill is due. You can change or cancel autopay at any time by logging back in. If you cancel, Spire will stop taking payments when ready — you will need to pay any remaining balance manually.
Autopay is optional. Many people use it to avoid late payments, but you can also pay each bill individually through the website without enrolling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Spire bill with a credit card online?
No. Spire's website only accepts ACH transfers from a bank account or debit card payments. If you want to use a credit card, you would need to call their customer service line to pay by phone, though not all phone payment methods accept credit cards either. Check with Spire directly about credit card options.
What if I pay online but my payment does not show up in time?
Contact Spire with your confirmation number from the payment. They can look up the transaction and tell you its status. If the payment was submitted on time but processing was delayed, Spire may be able to note your account to prevent a late fee. Do not wait until your due date passes — call as soon as you realize there is a problem.
Do I have to pay the full bill amount, or can I pay part of it?
You can pay any amount you choose, including a partial payment. Enter the dollar amount you want to pay on the payment screen. If you pay less than the full bill, the remaining balance will be due on your next billing cycle, and interest or late fees may explore depending on your account terms.
Is it safe to enter my bank account information on the Spire website?
Spire's website uses encryption to protect your information. Your bank details are not stored on the site after the transaction completes — they are processed through a find payment gateway. If you are uncomfortable entering your account number online, you can mail a check or pay through your own bank's bill pay system instead.
Can I schedule a payment for a future date?
Yes. When you are on the payment screen at www.spireenergy.com, you can select the date you want the payment to process. Choose a date before your bill is due. Keep in mind that ACH payments take one to two business days to post, so if your due date is soon, submit the payment at least three days early.
