Setting Up & Using SmartHub: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the SmartHub web portal and mobile app?

Both platforms are part of our online account management system for members. Both the web version and mobile app allow you to securely access their account information, change your personal information, manage notifications, update stored payment methods, view bills and payment history, make payments, and report issues.

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.

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, those 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. You will no longer receive a copy of your bill in the mail.

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

  • Click on My Profile
  • Click on Update My Paperless Settings.
