I Paid for Electricity but Did Not Get a Token

Most tokens arrive within seconds. Sometimes the distribution company is slow to generate the token, and the payment shows as processing.

Check these first

  1. Open your notifications. If the token arrived, the “Electricity Token Ready” notification shows it. Tap it to see the full receipt.
  2. Check your email for the “Electricity Token” message, including spam.
  3. Open History and tap the transaction to see its status.

What the status means

  • Pending: the distribution company is still processing it. Wait 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Completed with no token visible: contact support with the transaction ID so our team can check it with the provider.
  • Failed: no token was generated and the amount is returned to your naira wallet automatically.

The meter rejects the token

  • Check that you typed all 20 digits correctly.
  • Make sure the token was bought for this meter number. The receipt shows the meter it was issued for.
  • If your meter needs key-change tokens (KCT) after a tariff update, your distribution company has to issue them. Contact them with your meter number.

Do not buy again for the same meter while a payment is pending, or you may pay twice.

Your next trade takes three taps.
