Why other providers ask for a deposit — and why we don’t

Most Texas retail electric providers run a credit check when you apply. If your score is thin, new, or damaged, they don’t say no — they say yes, and hold a security deposit that can sit with them for months before you see it again. For many Texas households, that deposit is the difference between having power this week and waiting.

Now Power was built the other way around. Because you prepay for the electricity you use, there is no credit risk to underwrite — so there is nothing to secure with a deposit. No credit check. No deposit. Everyone is approved.

What no deposit electricity actually means here

What you would normally faceWith Now Power
A security deposit held for months$0 deposit — you pay only for the electricity you use
A hard credit checkNo credit check. Bad credit, no credit — everyone is approved
Social Security Number requiredNo SSN required
A long-term contract with an early termination feePrepaid, month to month
Days to get connectedSame-day activation available — often within hours
A surprise bill at the end of the monthDaily balance alerts by text or email
Is there any upfront cost at all? Yes — one small initial payment, and it goes straight onto your account balance as electricity. It is not a deposit: it is not held, and you never have to ask for it back. You spend it on power. If that first payment is a stretch right now, say so when you call — our deferment assistance program can activate service with little or no upfront payment. Call 844-227-2648 and ask about initial payment assistance.
