Prepaid vs Postpaid Electricity in Nigeria — Explained Simply

Prepaid means you buy units as tokens; postpaid means you settle monthly bills. The checkout flow differs — pick the wrong type and payment may not apply to your meter.

Prepaid signs

You enter 20-digit tokens and see units increase immediately on the meter screen.

Postpaid signs

You receive monthly bills with account numbers — pay the exact outstanding amount shown.

Wallet benefit

One app remembers your last meter — faster repeat purchases.
