The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has announced that it will be going cashless from Thursday, May 11, 2023.<\/p>\n

This means that all 300 ECG offices across the country will accept mobile money and bank deposit slips for payments, but no physical cash will be accepted anymore when implemented.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Customers can now pay their bills conveniently from the comfort of their homes by dialing *226#.<\/p>\n

However, if customers choose to visit the nearest ECG offices, they are required to load up their cash to their mobile money account before visiting any ECG office to make payment.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, customers may also take a deposit slip from any ECG office and visit their bank to make payment, as ECG is integrated with all banks in the country.<\/p>\n

Customers will no longer need to present payment receipts at ECG once the payment reflects in their accounts.<\/p>\n

The good news is that there will be no service charges or e-levy applied to payments to ECG. This means that if customers owe GHS100, they will only be required to pay exactly GHS100 without any additional charges.<\/p>\n

ECG\u2019s move to go cashless is expected to improve service delivery, reduce long queues, and provide a more convenient option for customers who wish to make payments.<\/p>\n
