How can I sign up for direct deposit? Alternatively, can I terminate direct deposit?

Please download and complete the ACH Form and return it to the address or email address located at the top of the ACH Form, along with a voided check or a copy of a voided check. Please note that we are no longer accepting deposit slips or copies of deposit slips for enrollment in electronic funds transfers.

If you would like to terminate your direct deposit and receive a monthly check instead, please send a request to our address or email address along with your owner number, name and contact information. No changes to your direct deposit enrollment or information will be accepted verbally or over the telephone.

When can I expect electronic payments to begin?

Owners can elect to receive their royalty payments electronically at any time. WildFire and its Owner Relations specialists will work to update your ownership account as soon as practical; however, processing times may take up to 60-90 days, and in the meantime, you may continue to receive paper checks from WildFire.

When are checks issued?

WildFire’s revenue checks are issued between the 25th to 30th each month, and directly deposited funds are deposited around the same time of each month as well.

What is WildFire’s minimum check amount?

Checks are not issued until the royalty payment amount reaches a minimum of $50.00. However, once a year, checks are issued for royalty payments that amount to $10.00 or more.

What should I do if I do not receive my check?

Please wait until the 15th calendar day of the following month for your check to arrive in the mail. If you believe your check has been lost or stolen, please contact our Owner Relations specialists at the contact information listed below so that we may stop payment and reissue the check.

What should I do if my check is older than 90 days?

Any check older than 90 days should be marked void and sent back to WildFire. Once it is received, it will be voided and reissued.

How can I get my revenue check detail information?

WildFire’s monthly revenue check detail is sent to EnergyLink. This secure and integrated website can be used to retrieve your statements and check detail.
