Go paperless and receive your bill by email
Join an increasing number of households who get their bills by email instead of by post. There are many good reasons to go paperless including:
- always having your bill on your phone whenever you need it
- peace of mind, knowing your bill can't get lost in the post
- no need to rush home if you're asked for a bill as proof of identity
- less paper through the door
- view any changes to your account straight away
