When a tenant goes to a shop (Engine, Sasol ) and requests a token he has to provide his meter number. A request is sent to UNIPIN and they send a token back for the requested amount. The money is paid into our account, which we -in turn- pay to the landlord account after the end each of month. The consumer takes his token and punches it into their meter. The meter is now updated with a fixed amount of electricity to be released until it runs out, when the consumer then has to buy another token. This diagram provides a representation of how the metering system works if you still need clarity don’t hesitate to contact us
