Discuss who PSC Africa is

Step 1: PSC Africa Installs the Prepaid Meters

Different types of prepaid meters can be installed depending on what’s needed and how much you want to spend. These can be:

  • Next to the main power board (DB)
  • Wired or wireless split meters (using your electrical wiring to communicate)
  • For 3-phase power (used in bigger setups)
  • Or water meters

Step 2: Tenants Buy Credit in Advance

Just like with prepaid airtime, residents must buy electricity or water before they can use it.

Step 3: PSC Handles the Payments

PSC collects the prepaid payments from residents. 

They use the official electricity/water rates. 

Step 4: You Get the Money

  • PSC adds up everything the tenants bought
  • Sends a clear report to the landlord or property manager
  • Pays that money into the landlord or Body Corporate’s bank account

→ That money can now be used to pay the utility bills from Eskom or the municipality.

You Can Track Everything Online

Landlords and managing agents get login access to see meter activity anytime online- and they can also get monthly reports emailed to them.

How Does This Make Your Life Easier? 

  • No more unpaid utility bills and inquiries into usage 
  • No guessing how much water or electricity each tenant used
  • Easy monthly reporting and payment systems done for you
  • You stay in control without extra admin
