iPhone users can now access new features with the fully redesigned Powertime iOS app, supported by Apple devices running on iOS7 and iOS8. The app supports more than 50 municipalities in South Africa, and offer personalised insights to help South Africans keep the lights on and save power.
“We believe that the new Powertime iOS app offers the most convenient and secure service on the App Store to purchase electricity, airtime and pay municipal bills via credit card or EFT” says Powertime MD Sébastien Lacour. “Powertime has always been a pioneer in mobile commerce, introducing its first mobile app in 2010 and now having over 70% of its transactions done via Powertime iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Nokia Ovi apps.”
With this new app, Powertime goes the extra mile to increase the convenience and speed of its services. “The Powertime iOS app includes new features such as a scanner to register meters and credit cards instantly. Powertime being a green business highly committed to power-saving, it provides its customers with an embedded dashboard, personalised consumption graphs and charts and electricity-saving tips” says Sébastien Lacour.
The Powertime iOS app features:
- Instant top-up of pre-paid electricity meter
- Management of several meters with one single account
- Real-time low credit notifications
- Airtime purchase (vouchers and direct top up)
- Municipal bill payment (Cape Town and Durban initially)
- Switch between different payment methods (credit card, EFT) and access to payment history
- Instant meter and credit card registration with the new scan feature
Effective, beneficial, and saves you money!
The service is available for Eskom users and in more than 50 municipalities including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Stellenbosch, Knysna, Nelspruit and many more.
Powertime is the only platform enabling more than 12 million South Africans to purchase prepaid electricity, monitor their power usage, buy airtime and pay their municipal bills on mobile apps.
