Pay Your Electricity Bill from Any Pakistani Bank App (HBL, Meezan, UBL, MCB, ABL, BAF)
What it is. Every Pakistani commercial bank's mobile app includes a 'Bill Payments' menu wired into 1Link; add your DISCO as a biller once and future bills appear automatically.
Step by step
- Sign in to your bank's mobile app.
- Go to 'Bill Payments' → 'Electricity'.
- Choose your DISCO (the list is identical across banks because of 1Link).
- Enter your 14-digit reference number and confirm the amount shown.
- Approve with a biometric/OTP. The bank debits your account and sends an SMS receipt.
