How to pay your bill in full each month by bank, card, cash or cheque

How it works

  • You or your smart meter gives us a reading each month
  • We send you a bill for the energy you've used
  • You make a payment by bank, card, cash or cheque

When you get your bills

  • You get a bill every month when you've chosen to pay your bill in full
  • We ask you for your meter reading just before each bill is due – or we get it from your smart meter
  • We bill you for the exact amount of energy you've used, if we get your meter reading on time

If we don't get your reading, we'll send you an estimated bill (based on the latest information we have about your energy use).

Didn't want an estimated bill? Just send us a meter reading. We can then cancel your estimated bill, and send you a new one based on your meter readings.

    Make a payment in MyAccount. Just enter the amount you want to pay and give your payment card details.

  • Bank

  • Card, cash or cheque

    Pay by card or cash at your local PayPoint or Payzone retailer, or Post Office®. Pay by cheque at a Post Office only, making your cheque to Post Office Ltd.

    The cashier will scan the barcode on the back of your bill to link your card, cash or cheque payment straight to your account.
