Running out of electricity is never fun, especially in the middle of cooking dinner. I remember one time I was making my famous lasagna, and poof, the lights went out. Luckily, buying electricity on the Capitec app is quick and easy. In just a few taps, you can have your power back on.

This blog post will show you exactly how to buy electricity using the Capitec app.

Buying electricity on the Capitec app

Here’s a simple guide to buying electricity on the Capitec app:

1. Log in to the Capitec App: Open the app and log in with your PIN or fingerprint.

2. Go to “Transact”: Once you’re in, tap on the “Transact” button at the bottom of the screen.

3. Select “Buy Prepaid”: You’ll see a list of options. Choose “Buy Prepaid.”

4. Choose “Electricity”: From the prepaid options, select “Electricity.”

5. Enter Your Meter Number: Type in your prepaid meter number. I always double-check mine to avoid any mistakes.

6. Enter the Amount: Decide how much electricity you want to buy and enter the amount.

7. Confirm and Pay: Review the details, and if everything is correct, tap “Buy.”

Your electricity token will be sent to you via SMS. You can also find it in the app under your transaction history.

What if I don't get my token?

Sometimes things go wrong. If you don’t get your electricity token, don’t panic. Here’s what you can do:

• Check your transaction history: The token might be there, even if you didn’t get an SMS.
• Wait a few minutes: Sometimes there’s a delay. Give it a little time.
• Contact Capitec: If you still don’t have your token, you can call Capitec’s customer service for help.

I once bought electricity and the token didn’t come through right away. I was about to call the bank, but then I checked my transaction history, and there it was. It’s always a good idea to check there first.

Buying electricity on the Capitec app is a lifesaver. It’s so much easier than going to the store, especially when it’s late at night. Plus, you can do it from anywhere, as long as you have your phone and an internet connection.
