What is SmartHub?

On the go and in control. Now you can manage your account like never before!

SmartHub has several features that make managing your account as easy as possible. Whether through the web, or your smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS), you’ll be able to pay your bill, view your usage, contact customer service and get the latest news.

As soon as you log in, you’ll be able to view your billing history and make a payment with just a couple of clicks. You’ll be able to see your current bill, along with bills from the previous month or even the previous seasons, if you want to compare costs. Not only will you see your billing history, but you’ll be able to view your actual use. You can see how your use is trending over time, which will allow you to take steps to lower your bill.

Making payments through SmartHub is fast and easy. The first time you make a payment either through the web or through your mobile device, you’ll be able to securely store your payment information for future transactions. The next time you need to pay your bill, it will only take a couple of clicks.

You’ll also be able to see important notices with SmartHub. You’ll be able to select how you want to be notified about your bill, including email and text messaging. You’ll even be able to set usage thresholds so that you’ll know when you’re using more than you’d like which will help you keep your electricity bill as low as possible.

Reporting a service issue is a snap with the SmartHub mobile app. There’s no need to call the office, just let us know about the issue with a few clicks. You can also contact us for customer service requests or with any questions you may have. You can now contact us at any time from anywhere.

Getting started with SmartHub is as easy as 1-2-3!

Setting Up SmartHub: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the SmartHub web portal and mobile app?

Both platforms are part of Southwest Iowa REC’s online account management system for members.

The website has additional functionality that allows members to manage notifications, update their stored payment methods, and change their personal information.

Both the web version and mobile app allow members to securely access their account information, view bills and payment history, make payments, view energy use, and report outages.

The free, secure mobile app is available to download and install on mobile devices and tablets.

Is the mobile app secure?

Yes. All critical information is encrypted in every transaction run and no personal information is stored on your phone or tablet.

Mobile devices do offer you the ability to store your login information for apps installed on the device. If you choose to store your login information, any person who has access to your mobile device can access your account.

Where can I find my account number?

You can find your account number on a printed bill statement mailed to your residence or business. If you have previously received emails from Southwest Iowa REC's about your monthly bill being ready to pay online, your account number is provided in that email. You can also call Southwest Iowa REC at 888-220-4869 for assistance.

I'm being prompted to sign up for paperless billing when I log in. Do I have to sign up or re-register for it?

No. It is provided as an option for your convenience. If you do not sign up for paperless billing in SmartHub, you will continue to receive a monthly bill in your mail.

When we upgraded our systems, all of those members who were previously enrolled in paperless billing were not able to be carried over, so while we understand it’s inconvenient, we do appreciate your understanding of having to enroll again.

You can choose to participate in paperless billing, which sends bill statements to the email address on your account. Members who participate in paperless billing do not receive a copy of their bill in the mail.

Here’s how to change your preference to participate in paperless billing:

On the website:

  • Click on My Profile
  • Click on Update My Paperless Settings.
  • You can then choose your preference by selecting On or Off for paperless billing

On the app:

  • Select Settings
  • Select Paperless Bill Settings
  • Then, you can select On or Off for paperless billing
How do I set up my mobile and email for notifications?

Want information on paperless billing, and usage updates straight to your email or through SMS? Use SmartHub to update your notifications preferences.

  • Log in to your SmartHub account
  • Click on “Notifications”
  • Click Manage Contacts to add or change email address and phone numbers
  • Add email address or phone number
  • Enter verification code to activate
  • Click on Manage Notifications to update/change SMS and email alerts

*If you sign up for text message notifications, you will still receive a paper copy of your bill. If you wish to not receive a paper bill, make sure to sign up for paperless billing with a valid email address.

Once you have your text and/or email addresses set up, do the following:

  • Click Notifications
  • Manage Notifications
  • Billing or Service or Usage
  • Select Text Message and/or E-mail options
How do I sign up for, update or delete billing, and usage notifications?

What is Auto Pay and do I need to sign up for it?

Auto Pay is a convenient option to pay your bill each month.

Auto Pay allows you to pay your monthly bill through an automated draft from your bank account or credit card at no extra charge. By enrolling in Auto Pay, you authorize Southwest Iowa REC to withdraw funds from your selected account to pay your monthly bill on the due date.

No, you are not required to sign up for it. We offer it for your convenience only. If you prefer to mail your payment please do so.
