Navigating Bureaucracy: Why Auto-Pay Isn't Enough in Costa Rica

Utility cuts in Costa Rica are swift and unforgiving. We ensure your lights (and WiFi) stay on.

Navigating Bureaucracy: Why Auto-Pay Isn't Enough in Costa Rica

In the US, missing a bill by a few days is a minor annoyance. In Costa Rica, the utility company will cut your service immediately, and reconnection can take days. Imagine a guest arriving to a dark, hot house because a credit card expired on an auto-pay portal.

The Complexity of Local Utilities

Navigating the portals for ICE, local ASADAs (water), and internet providers requires Spanish fluency and patience. Often, digital systems go down, and payments must be made in person at a local bank.

Guaranteed Continuity

Signature Collection manages all utility payments directly.

  • Redundant Tracking: We don't rely solely on email notifications. We track average consumption to spot leaks or anomalies (e.g., a toilet running for a month).
  • Direct Relationships: If there is an outage, we have the direct numbers of local line managers, bypassing the general support queues.

Ensure zero downtime for your guests. Contact Francisco about our bill management services.
