How do I set up recurring bill payments?

Setting up recurring bill payments is a convenient way to ensure that your bills are paid on time every month without having to manually make payments each time. With this feature, you can schedule automatic payments for your electricity bill. All you need to do is enable recurring payment under your prepaid account and enter the date and the duration, whether it's daily, twice a month, monthly, etc. Once this is done, the information will be displayed, and you will be able to see your next payment date at a glance. This helps you stay organized and ensures that your bills are taken care of without any hassle.
