People keep seeing a tiny $3‑$5 charge labeled with the 214‑750‑2700 number and wonder what’s going on. That number belongs to BillMatrix, a third‑party payment processor many utilities use for credit‑card bill payments. The fee shows up as a separate line item because the processor charges a service fee for handling the transaction. If you’ve paid a utility bill online or over the phone with a card, expect this small surcharge and read the terms before confirming. To avoid surprise fees, consider using a bank‑linked payment method or check if your utility offers a fee‑free option. Keeping an eye on your statements can help you spot these legitimate processing charges quickly.
Thanks for your comement, I've also been geting this fee on my card, its $3.95
Upon investigation, this charge appears to be related to an online bill payment service, specifically through a company named Billmatrix, which charges a fee for processing payments.
Luckily, i had the same experiance with this number and i called them and got a voicemail
We incurred a $2.95 charge on our credit card statement without prior notification for a utility account payment, which we discovered was due to the utility company's error in sending bills to an incorrect address for months.
I noticed a $4.95 charge on my credit card statement, which was identified only by a phone number and 'fees', and upon investigation, it appeared to be related to Bill Matrix, a payment service.
I noticed a charge on my bank account for $2.95 in fees from this number
Apparently, the seperate charge on my statement wasnt fraude, it's probaby a rip-off, but I autorized it when I paid my electric bill with a debit card and the rep told me ther would be a $3.95 fee
The charge on my account is because i paid a bill online, it goes threw a company that charges a fee, wich is $3.95 or $4.95, and i aggreed to pay it when i made the payment.
I also got a charge on my credit card, only $1.50, but I dont pay my electric bill with a credit card eather
This is reportedly the phone number for Billmatrix Corporation.
The caller demanded payment of outstanding bills.
For over 4 years, I have been using BillMatrix to pay my bills, and they never made a seperate $3.95 charge, until now, I made a payment of $53, and they charged me $53 and $3.95, in two seperate transactions, and I got a $35 OD fee, neat!
I experienced a similar situation where I had to research the purpose of a fee because it wasn't clearly explained when it was withdrawn from my card.
A charge appeared on my bank statement with a reference to this number, but after investigation, it seems to be a legitimate charge from billmatrix.com, a credit card payment processing company used by my electric company, serving as a reminder to carefully review terms when making credit card transactions.
I think this might be Bill Matrix, I paid my bill through them and got charged a fee
This charge appeared on my internet credit card bill
I discovered a charge on my statement with a vague description, 'FEES 214-750-2700 TX,' which corresponded to a credit card payment for my electric bill; it's possible that similar transactions may have incurred a fee
I think i might of gotten a call from this number, but the problem is i got a charge on my credit card for $4.95, and i dont know what it for
