Your token

For prepaid meters, the Electricity Token screen opens with:

  • the units in kWh
  • your meter number and the customer name and address on the meter
  • the reference and date

We also send the token by email and push notification. Tap Save Receipt to keep a copy. You can open the token again later from the notification.

Enter the token on your meter’s keypad, then press Enter. You earn 1% cashback on every successful purchase.

Tip: save your meter number to pay faster next time. No token? Read I paid for electricity but did not get a token.

Your next trade takes three taps.
