The Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) has launched a QR code-based system to streamline online electricity bill payments, as stated by a PESCO spokesperson on Monday.
The spokesperson indicated that QR codes have been added into electricity bills, allowing Peshawar consumers to conveniently settle their payments from home by simply scanning the code.
Consumers of PESCO can use any banking application, along with mobile wallets such as JazzCash and Easypaisa, to finalise their payments using the QR code feature.
The spokesperson recommended that consumers check their name and address on the bill before scanning the QR code to ensure it is correct.
He also mentioned that receiving a confirmation message after completing an online payment acts as proof that the bill has been paid successfully.
