Each bank has its own process that you will need to follow when adding PowerPrepaid to your list of beneficiaries. To assist our customers in simplifying the payment processes we have included a number of South Africa’s top banks. Regardless of where you are living in South Africa, we make sure that you have a convenient option to pay for your prepaid electricity or your airtime or data bundles.
When you are looking to buy prepaid electricity, and top up your prepaid meter, we understand that it is normally a matter of urgency. This is one of the reasons why we have created the option of paying for electricity online or through a mobile banking app, depending on who you are banking with. When you buy prepaid electricity online you are buying your power directly from Eskom without the inconvenience of having to drive to a shop.
Mobile apps, as well as the FNB website, both offer you a safe platform from which to make a secure payment and you will almost immediately receive your prepaid electricity token which will allow you to top up your meter. Your token will be sent to an email address of your choosing.
By adding PowerPrepaid as a beneficiary you are also setting up a method to quickly and easily buy airtime and data bundles from Telkom or Vodacom. Again, the process around topping up is made easier just for you!
Choose convenience and safety over the hassle of conventionally buying prepaid electricity. Set up PowerPrepaid as one of your FNB beneficiaries.
