Who
is SEDC?
Information
for customer-owners who pay online
If
you pay your electric bill online, you've probably noticed the online
billing page looks a little different from the rest of waltonemc.com.
That's
because Southeastern Data Cooperative (SEDC) operates online billing
and payment for Walton EMC.
Even
though that part of our site doesn't look the same, rest assured
it's secure to process your transaction. Be sure to look for “https”
in the web address and the closed lock icon on your Internet browser.
Your
monthly credit card or bank statement will also list SEDC as the
payee instead of Walton EMC. That's because SEDC processes your
online payment for us.
Here
are some frequently asked questions about SEDC:
What
is SEDC?
SEDC
stands for Southeastern Data Cooperative. It's a data processing
cooperative that provides consumer billing and accounting solutions
to its customer-owners.

are SEDC's customer-owners?
SEDC
serves more than 170 electric cooperatives and municipal utility
providers in 28 states, including Walton EMC.
What
does SEDC have to do with Walton EMC?

handles all of WEMC's billing—the online billing system and the
printing and mailing of the paper bills. SEDC also stuffs the Realite
into your bill each month.
Why
does the bill payment website look different from waltonemc.com?
As
an SEDC customer-owner, Walton EMC uses SEDC's billing services,
including online billing. When you go to waltonemc.com and click
on Online Payments, you're still on WEMC's website. But once you
proceed to Online Payment, you're directed to SEDC's secure payment
site.
