If you own property in Costa Rica but live in the United States (or travel often), paying utility bills used to be a bit of a headache. But now, there’s an easier way.
Thanks to Xoom – a PayPal service, you can now pay electricity, water, internet, phone, and even property taxes in Costa Rica directly from the U.S. using your computer or phone.
✅ What You Can Pay:
-
Electricity (ICE, CNFL, JASEC, Coopelesca, etc.)
-
Water (AyA or ASADA)
-
Internet and cable (Tigo, Claro, Kolbi, etc.)
-
Cell phone plans (Kolbi, Claro, Movistar)
-
Property taxes and more
💡 How It Works:
-
Go to www.xoom.com
-
Log in using your PayPal account (or create one)
-
Choose “Pay a Bill” and select Costa Rica
-
Pick the utility company and enter your customer/account number
-
Pay using your U.S. bank, credit card, or PayPal balance
That’s it — no need for a Costa Rican bank account or local help.
🙌 Why It’s a Game-Changer:
This is especially helpful for owners who:
-
Don’t live in Costa Rica full-time
-
Don’t want to deal with setting up a local bank account
-
Prefer to handle everything digitally and securely
