Meter type, distribution company, customer preview, amount, and receipt details explained in plain language.

Before paying, confirm the distribution company and whether the meter is prepaid or postpaid. These two details determine where the request is sent.

Check the details before payment

A customer name preview is useful when the provider supports it. It gives you one more chance to catch a wrong meter number before payment.

Keep proof of the transaction

For prepaid meters, copy the token carefully and save the receipt. For postpaid accounts, retain the reference until the updated balance appears.

A simple rule

Pause at the review screen. A ten-second check can save a longer support conversation later.
