Introduction ...

Automatic Funds Transfer (AFT) allows customers to have their monthly City of Pembroke Pines utility bill payments automatically withdrawn from their bank account. You set up your AFT account once and you do not have to worry about paying your utility bill on time anymore.

Our goal at the City of Pembroke Pines is to make our AFT program as simple to sign up and maintain as possible.

To help you take advantage of our AFT program, we offer the following online options:

  • print an application, complete it, and mail it  to The City of Pembroke Pines (Note: The application can be filled out online, and then printed for mailing).
  • change your bank account information
  • discontinue the program.
Though this online information is provided for your convenience, online registration is not possible due to the need for your original signature, and a voided check.

Benefits ...

      of using AFT are that you

  • don't have to worry about late or missed payments if you're busy or away from home
  • save time and postage costs
  • eliminate the need to write checks and
  • simplify your bill payment.                                            Return to Top
