    In addition, please feel free to post any questions in the comments and we’ll get back to you.

    Auto Pay FAQs

    Who can set-up an Auto Pay?
    You’ll need to be a Pay As You Go customer with an electricity smart meter installed in your home to use Auto Pay.

    How do I set-up an Auto Pay?
    Visit the Payments page from the bottom navigation and select ‘Auto Pay’. Choose your electricity or gas (you’ll need to set-up these separately if you have both) and then select an amount that will be credited to your meter when your balance reaches £2.

    Finally, select the payment card that you’d like to use to pay for your Auto Pay and you’re done! If you need to change your Auto Pay in the future, simply visit the same Auto Pay page.

    How do I cancel an Auto Pay?
    If you need to cancel your Auto Pay, you can do this at any time on the Auto Pay page. Just select the trash icon on your Auto Pay to delete it.

    What happens when my Auto Pay is successful?
    The meter you have chosen will be credited with the amount you selected during set-up.

    We’ll let you know by email, SMS and an app notification once your meter has been credited successfully.

    What happens if my Auto Pay fails?
    If your Auto Pay fails for any reason, we’ll let you know by email, SMS and an app notification.

    Please note – if it fails, you may need to top-up your meter in the normal way with My Utilita to make sure your meter doesn’t go off supply.

    What if I don’t have enough funds in my bank account?
    If your Auto Pay fails because you don’t have enough funds in your bank account, you’ll need to top-up normally to get your meter balance above £2.

    Once your balance is over £2, your Auto Pay will work as normal. If your Auto Pay fails for any reason, we’ll let you know by email, SMS and an app notification.

    What happens if I delete the App?
    If you delete your My Utilita account, any Auto Pay you have set-up will be automatically deleted too.

    Can my bank account go overdrawn?
    Auto Pay is paid with your bank card, so you’ll never go overdrawn accidently.

    @Rebecca just received my invite to try out auto pay, as per usual with My Utilita I found it so straight forward to use it now means I don't have to keep an eye on my ihd or lookout for emails telling me I'm running low on credit, brilliant idea

    @PotNoodles Oh nooo! I am sorry to hear that! I will need to inform the Trial Team - can you private mail me by clicking here your customer reference number and full address - then I can get them to look into why the instructions are not working for you.

    Thanks,

    @Rebecca top up is not working for me, pls assist in fixing. Ive called multiple times and yet the support agents are not able to resolve. When I click 'Confirm Autopay', nothing happens except the card details that I entered are deleted.

    Thanks in advance
