My tenant has moved out and I paid him back for the credit on his electric sub meter. Can I zero the credit on the sub meter before a new tenant moves in?
Yes, please contact the Metro Prepaid help desk and ask to zero the credit quoting your electric sub meter number.
Metro Prepaid charges a Service Fee to cover the cost of electricity vending and collection services for the Landlord.
The Landlord usually pays the Service Fee, but might elect that the Tenant pays the fee.

If you would like to know how much credit you have on your meter you can always check on your meter the remaining balance or credit displays on the screen in kWh or press 37 + enter.
If you have 10 kWh remaining and your tariff is 30c per kWh then you can calculate that you have $3 worth of electricity left.

I've just moved into my rental unit and will be making my first electricity top-up, is there anything I need to do before I top-up at 7-Eleven?
Please register online to make PayNearMe top-ups using the Register PayNearMe button on the www.metroprepaid.com website.
If you've lost the Metro Code then you need not worry we are able to see all the transactions made for your meter so we can send the Metro Code to you either via sms or email or even give it to you telephonically.
What is a Metro Code and how does it work?
A Metro Code is the 20 digit number that you receive when you buy electricity. When you receive the Metro Code you need to enter it onto the meter by entering the numbers and press the enter button.
No, there is no point in stealing a Metro Code, as each meter has its own serial number.
Your Metro Code can't be used on someone else's sub meter.
Metro Codes can be printed at the check-out if you top-up at for example at CVS or sent either via text message or email for online debit card or credit card payments.
