I purchased prepaid electricity and I received a message that the purchase went through. I also got a message with a (no subject). Normally this shows the number for the electricity, but nothing is showing apart from the no subject.

Hello @Nadine1,

 

Please note that the feature is working perfectly on our side. There could be a technical issues with the municipality not responding to the request. When the request to purchase electricity via the app or cellphone banking is processed, we send the request in order for us to provide you with the electricity details. If the transaction was unsuccessful this will be a slow response with the service provider or either way.

 

Please feel free to query this with the service provider as the service is active and functional on our side.

 

Regards,

Boitumelo
