Your Guide to Downloading and Using the BuyPower Mobile App

I know you love using the BuyPower website (www.buypower.ng) to make your utility bill payments. And change might be a little unnecessary sometimes. But at BuyPower, we always look for the next step towards convenience. That’s why we created a mobile app that can make your transactions even more seamless.

In this post, you’ll learn the difference between the app and the website, how to download the BuyPower Mobile App and how you can use it for payments amongst other functions.

Why Should I Choose the Buypower Mobile App?

With a mobile app, you do not need to access your browser to carry out electricity bill payments. You have swift, one-tap access to paying your bills.

Asides from the convenience Buypower Mobile app offers, there are other features that are only accessible when you use the app. Here are some of these features you’ll be needing;

1. Notifications: Whenever there’s an update on any of our features or in the utility sector, you’ll get an immediate notification about it. So when you use the app, you’re always going to get our news first.

2. Reminders: Time is precious. Sometimes you’re so busy working and taking care of your family that tiny details like checking your meter balance skips your mind. With the app, you can set a reminder to top up your meter or pay your electricity bills on a particular day of your choice.

3. Meter Consumption History: Do you like unraveling patterns and observations? With this feature, you can track all your transactions and how you’ve consumed electricity in the past. You’ll be able to decipher if your consumption rate is increasing or reducing.

4. PDF Receipts: Using the website, you can see your transaction history. What if I told you that you can save these receipts as a PDF? On the app, you can choose to save your BuyPower receipts as a PDF or print them out. You’ll never be stuck when you need a utility bill again.
