So today, I was going to pay for my PHCN (NEPA) Bill offline, and guess what, more than 350 people are waiting to pay their bills! I was given the number 362, which means I need to wait for 361 people before it will get to my turn. Could you imagine standing in a queue that long?
Well, we are in the digital age, and was thinking out loud, Why can’t Nigeria improve? I cool off and then decided to pay my PHCN Bills online. If I can pay for my GOTV subscription online, then PHCN is piece of cake.
If you are a PHCN Customer and you are looking to pay your electricity bill without leaving the comfort of your house to face the long queue at the PHCN office or designated banks, online payment is what you need.
PHCN is the acronym of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) Follow the steps below to pay your bills.
Before you can pay your PHCN bills online, you will need your Meter Number, if your house does not have it, then this is not for you.
Also, you will need the following;
– Debit card (Verve, Visa, Mastercard)
– Internet-ready computer
– Quickteller account
How to Pay PHCN Bills Online on Quickteller- Step by Step
Step 1. Go to www.quickteller.com with your computer system
Step 2. When the quick teller opens, register if you have not done so before.
Step 3. Scroll over to “Utility Bills”, Then click on PHCN Postpaid (ALL ZONES)
Step 4. Provide your meter number

Upon successful payment, your bank account will be debited while the bill will be paid. If it’s for a prepaid meter, you will receive the meter token in your phone else your postpaid account will be automatically credited.
You will also receive an invoice in your email which contains the reference number for the transaction.
No more standing in the queue to pay your PHCN bills!
Your online payment through quickteller is ineffective. I have made payment online through quickteller and my money debited from my GTB bank account but was never reflected in my PHCN subsequent bills I will appreciate it if this is looked into.
I recharged online via quickteller IBEDC disco, luckily I got my pin after a few hours. Pls three 20-digit numbers were sent it read, KCT: 20-digit number | 20-digit number ; 20 digit number….. which exactly is the pin? I’ve tried all severally and none worked so far.. plus, is there a minimum number of entries one can make?
The online payment for prepaid meter is not working for me via quick teller, as complain of wrong meter number… can someone help address this especially if this has worked for you…. Presently I want to pay online but the customer account number is eleven digits. Pls abeg help me out thanks.
The quick teller online meter is having some issues lately and we have successfully contacted them, so we are looking within some few working days, we will definitely get back to you.
Thanks admin I appreciate it. I will go and pay it manually in phcn office.
please admin is there any app to do this transactions???
Quick teller app can do this… FBL will also update you later too
pls can I recharge prepaid
Administration, I paid for my prepaid meter bill via atm and no code has been sent to me. What do I have to do or probably if you can provide a customer care line. Thank you
The reason we pay bills is so we don’t get disconnected.so my question is “after making payment online succesfully, what evidence would you present to the guys carrying ladder to show you have paid?”
You can stay 24hours before check it out! If after that 24hours, it doesn’t work then take it to the nearest Gotv working center.
I’m referring to postpaid meters. Assuming the electronic payment was succesful (cos I have some mobile apps that offer that service), what would you present to the nepa officials when they come around as a proof that you’ve paid?…great job too with this thread answering questions
Hello Fablafab, I got your question. You know that, when you pay anything online, you get the receipt, which can be printed out. So when you pay for NEPA Online, you have to take it to any printing shop or probably, if you have a printer, you can print it out and show them. You are welcome!
Admin…Please reply to Oloye’s question. I’m interested in the response. Is the 11 digit numbers the same as account number? Please respond ASAP. Thank you.
Yes.
Hello, I also would like to pay by prepaid bills online. I leave in Ifo LGA, Ogun State but it’s under IBDEC disco so I’m guessing I should select the ibadan option? More importantly, is the 11digit number required for the online transactions (I. E on my scratch card). is this my customer account number please?
Paid online 4 ma prepaid meter n my account was debited. I did not receive any message 4rm phcn n my meter is empty. What am I 2 do nw?
How many days now? Let us know the date and time to help provide the best Solution!
Please, how can i recharge my prepaid meter online located in Ijebu ode, under Ibadan zone because am currently in the North for official assignment?
Go through the prepaid meter empty space.
I use prepaid, can i still do it online?
Sure Emma.
The online payment for prepaid meter is not working for me via quick teller, as complain of wrong meter number… can someone help address this especially if this has worked for you…. Thanks
Is the customer account number different from the meter no. For quickteller
This is still not a complete solution as some are left out. We can not be doing trial and error! Why can’t there be an option for Prepaid all zones? Why is it that the 4 options are:
PHCN Post-paid (All zones)
PHCN Postpaid (IBADAN ZONE)
PHCN Pre-paid (Eko Zones only)
PHCN Prepaid (ABUJA ZONE)
What option should those who use Pre-paid and are not in Eko or Abuja choose? Why can’t there be PHCN Prepaid (ALL zones)? Why?
PHCN hasn’t gotten to that level. But we do hope that before the end of next month, they will definitely includes all the area.
Don’t worry, soon there will be a better and more efficient way to pay electricity bills. Just be patient.
Yes, Micheal, There will soon be! Hope! MayorBombay, stay Intact because when it hits, we will definitely share the article here.
Please I used my first bank mobile to pay and I clicked the option ; PHCN Prepaid (EKO) and it’s two hours now… Without the code sent to my phone, I use a prepaid meter!
Please what can I do
Hello, you can wait for 24hours but after then and it is not yet sent then the only thing you need to do is to contact them and lay your complain.
Is customer account number stil same as the meter number? Cos thats what i saw on the quickteller site
Hello, couldn’t find that on my side but it is two different things.
I use the prepaid meter. Will it still work if i select postpaid, because there is no option for prapaid
Hello Lucki, yea, it is going to work because Postpaid is all ZONES! Goodluck
Why will the government allow thos in charge of recieving the bill, the teller from the bank are alway’s one person, because people around okota, isolo, oshodi are suffering to get their slip for their pre-paid meters, pls I want those who are in charge of Electricity here in Lagos State should pls look into the matter before it gets out of hand, I have a question, Is this the change we are talking about
We are not yet sure about the change, Jemuel
BUT THIS APPLIES ONLY FOR POST-PAID TRANSACTIONS..DOESN’T IT?
Yea sure, Onom, it does.
Hope ya-hoo guys are not underground?
Sorry, but we don’t discuss that here, Yahoo boys are not legalize.
