Also, as an aside, US Bank has a no-fee credit card which gives you 5% back on utilities which more than covers most, but not all, fees.
You can make a one-time electronic payment using your bank's online bill pay system. The business has no access to your account and there is no fee. That is how I make my monthly utility bill payment and other payments. Autopay is not required to do this.
