How to Pay IKEDC and EKEDC Bills Online | Staff Pay blog

Short answer: Choose Ikeja Electric (IKEDC) or Eko Electricity (EKEDC), enter your meter number, confirm the customer name, pay the amount, and save your token or receipt until power reflects.

Sound familiar?

You know your DISCO but the payment page asks for details you only have on an old paper bill.

Searches for utility bill.ng, IKEDC, and EKEDC are among the highest-impression queries hitting Nigerian payment sites. Lagos DISCOs are busy; online pay works when details are right.

IKEDC vs EKEDC: know your DISCO

DISCOServes (broadly)
IKEDC (Ikeja Electric)Parts of Lagos mainland, Ikeja axis, some Ogun border areas
EKEDC (Eko Electricity)Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Lekki, Ajah, and surrounding areas

Your electricity bill or old token SMS usually names your DISCO. Picking the wrong one is the fastest way to pay successfully but load the wrong account.

What you need

  • 11-digit meter number (prepaid) or account number (postpaid)
  • Meter type: prepaid (token) or postpaid (bill settlement)
  • Phone number for SMS token delivery
  • Amount (prepaid: your top-up choice; postpaid: outstanding bill)

Pay IKEDC online: step by step

  1. Open a bank app, fintech wallet, or bill platform.
  2. Select ElectricityIkeja Electric / IKEDC.
  3. Enter meter number.
  4. Confirm customer name and address hint if shown.
  5. Enter amount (many channels have a minimum).
  6. Complete payment.
  7. For prepaid: copy the 20-digit token from SMS or app and enter it on your meter.
  8. Save reference and token screenshot.

Pay EKEDC online: step by step

Same flow; select Eko Electric / EKEDC instead of IKEDC. Postpaid users pay the outstanding balance shown after validation. Prepaid users receive a token.

Prepaid token not working?

Try in this order:

  1. Re-enter the token carefully (no spaces).
  2. Check you bought for the correct meter.
  3. Wait 10-15 minutes (network delays happen).
  4. Call DISCO support with payment reference.
  5. Contact your payment app if money left but no token arrived.

Never buy a second token out of frustration without checking the first transaction.

Postpaid: debited but bill still shows unpaid?

  • Allow the normal settlement window (often same day).
  • Keep reference and receipt.
  • Escalate with meter account number and payment date.

Business and multi-branch tips

Offices in Lagos often juggle IKEDC and EKEDC meters across branches:

  • Label each meter with DISCO + number + location
  • One owner per site for top-ups
  • Store tokens and references in a shared folder
