What Is Capitec Electro Voucher Used For

A Capitec electro voucher is used to purchase prepaid electricity for yourself or someone else without needing to know the specific meter number at the time of purchase^[2]. This makes it a convenient option if you want to buy electricity in advance or send it as a gift, especially when you don’t have the meter details on hand^[4].

After purchasing the voucher on the Capitec app, you can share it with anyone via SMS or WhatsApp. The recipient can then redeem the voucher by dialing *120*41589*PIN*MeterNumber# on their phone to receive the electricity token, which is entered into their prepaid meter^[2]. The voucher is valid for up to 36 months from the date of purchase^[3].

This feature allows for easy and secure electricity top-ups for yourself or others, and fits Capitec’s broader offering of value-added services through its digital channels^[4].
