How to Create Your Virtual Account (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Log in to your BuyPower Merchant Dashboard
Download the BuyPower Merchant App on the Google Play Store or App Store, or visit https://buypower.ng/merchant and sign in using your merchant account credentials.

Step 3: Enter Required Information
You’ll need to provide the following:
- Meter Number (of the customer or business location)
- Phone Number (where tokens should be sent)
- DISCO (Distribution Company, e.g., AEDC, PHEDC, etc.)
Step 4: Submit to Generate Account Details
Once completed, a unique BuyPower MFB Virtual Account will be generated for that meter.
Step 5: Share the Virtual Account with Customers
Give this account number to your customers. When they transfer money to it, they’ll get their electricity token instantly, and you get your commission right after the transaction is completed.
How You Make Money
Every time a customer makes a payment into your virtual account, BuyPower processes the transaction, sends the token to the customer, and credits your wallet with your commission.
Your earnings depend on the volume of purchases, so the more customers use your virtual account, the more you earn, without being actively involved.
