Paying On-line
If you using the on-line banking services of your financial institution, you may want to use it to pay your City utility and tax accounts.
Royal Bank customers:
Sign onto your on-line bank account, select "Pay bills & transfer funds" from the self service menu. Then, on the next screen, select "Create/update payee list" from the self service menu. On the next screen, select "Add a new payee" from the self service menu. On the next screen enter "Meadow Lake" as a payee name then click on search. The next screen will show several Meadow Lake businesses which accept on-line payments. Select "Meadow Lake (City) - Utilities" or "Meadow Lake (City) - Taxes", depending on which bill you are paying. You will be asked for the account number that you are paying. For your tax account, enter the "assessment number" shown on your tax bill. It should be a number much like 505209000.01 for example. For your utility bill, enter the "account number" shown on your last utility billing. If you are unsure of what account number to use, phone City Hall at (306) 236-3622 and ask for the correct one.
If you deal with another financial institution, we would appreciate having you contact us with the exact steps to take with your bank, so that we can include the instructions here.
If your financial institution requires you to type in, say, a 10-digit account number and your utility account number is only six or seven digits, add some LEADING zeroes to the account number. Adding zeroes at the END could result in a valid utility account number for another customer.
Although on-line banking payments have worked very well for us over the past year, there have been several errors resulting from people selecting the wrong payee, or keying in a wrong tax or utility account number, or giving us a tax number when they really wanted to pay their utility bill. If you notice an error, please contact us as soon as possible so we can trace your payment.
Debit Cards
Customers who come into City Hall to pay their tax or utility bills may use their bank debit cards. We do not, however, accect credit cards like Visa.
