  • How Does The UtilityPal Sub-Meter Work?
    UtilityPal’s sub-meters provide a reliable, prepaid metering solution that empowers property owners and tenants to manage utility consumption easily and transparently. Here’s how it works: 💡 Tenants or residents purchase prepaid tokens through various retail outlets or by EFT (electronic funds transfer). 💡 These tokens are then used to load credit onto the sub-meter, enabling consumption. 💡 UtilityPal collects the funds and ensures that the revenue is securely and efficiently repaid to the property owner on a monthly basis via EFT. This seamless process ensures accurate consumption-based billing and timely payments to property owners.
