Payment Method Guidelines
-
Please do not purchase more than one token per day, as the meter will reject additional tokens. If this occurs, re-issuing tokens may take 2-5 working days, and a penalty may apply.
-
Each vendor has different fees, so choose wisely. Purchasing directly through our Nedbank account avoids vending fees but may take longer.
-
For better value, consider buying a larger amount via OAMI, as you'll only incure a single transaction fee of R9.50.
-
For Smart Credit and SMART Prepaid Accounts, once payment reflects in our bank, it takes 5 minutes to 1 hour to load into your meter. Published municipal tariffs apply.
