Citiq Prepaid

Citiq Prepaid Citiq Prepaid is the biggest and fastest-growing prepaid sub-metering utility vending system provider

Our goal is to provide innovative, transparent products and solutions that support and give everyone the power to manage their utilities. Our proprietary software enables detailed reports to bet

ter track and manage electricity and water consumption, which helps eliminate unexpected costs, quickly resolve disputes and simplifies payment collection - so utilities can stay on.

To our loyal customers

To coincide with the launch of our new Citiq App, we are upgrading our payment system to ensure a faster, more reliable top-up experience.

What is changing: Effective soon, Instant EFT via OZOW will no longer be available on our website or mobile app. All online purchases will be processed exclusively via secure card payments through our regular payment gateway provider.

Why we’re making this move: Focusing on card payments allows us to deliver instant token generation, higher transaction success rates, and bank-grade security built directly into our new app interface.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we streamline our services to serve you better.

When is this happening: By the end of September 2026 the OZOW payment option will permanently removed.

What is remaining the same: There are NO changes to purchases made via our channel partners such as shops and banks, the change is only to purchases made directly from Citiq on the app or website.

Citiq.
Simple. Fair. Built on Trust.

67 minutes. One community. A lasting impact.🤝

This Mandela Day, Citiq shared food, blankets and hope with the Khayelitsha community. We left having lived in the spirit of Madiba 🙌 Our shared humanity was embodied through our actions. Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu.

🎥 Take a moment to watch our Mandela Day journey. Experience the moments, the people and stories that made these 67 minutes truly meaningful. 🫂✨

Mandela Day reminds us that meaningful change doesn’t happen in a single day. It begins with intention 💭, grows through collaboration, and comes to life through action.

At Citiq, it took us three years of planning, listening, and preparing to turn an idea into a meaningful opportunity to serve the Khayelitsha community. And when the day finally came, we had just 67 minutes to make every moment count.

Our first stop was Ward 99 at the Harare Community Centre, where we donated 70 blankets and 70 food parcels to families affected by devastating floods 🌧️.

We then made our way to the Ebenezer Soup Kitchen, where our contribution helped provide food for over 200 people 🙏.

But it was here that we experienced a moment that reminded us why Mandela Day is about so much more than giving.

A kind gentleman by the name of Khaya approached us and said:

“Ningasilibali” 🥹

Do not forget about us.

Those words stayed with us.

In that moment, we were reminded that behind every blanket, every food parcel, and every meal is a person someone who wants to be seen, heard, valued, and remembered. 🫂

We arrived with the intention of making an impact, but we left with something even more meaningful: a deeper understanding of Ubuntu: I am because we are. 🤝

Because true impact is not only measured by what we give. It is measured by the connections we make, the dignity we uphold, and the lives we touch.

Looking to keep electricity costs down?

A few small shifts can save you big. Most of your spend comes from a few appliances, think geysers, stoves, and kettles. Switch off what you’re not using, avoid running high-usage appliances during peak times, and monitor your usage to spot any patterns.
