Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company serves the IBEDC service area across much of Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Kwara. Your old bill, meter installation documents or a verified customer lookup are safer ways to identify the distributor than guessing from the state alone.
A good online payment flow should validate the customer before collecting money, show the full amount, and keep payment confirmation separate from token or account delivery.
The essentials
- Confirm that IBEDC appears on the bill or verified customer record.
- Select prepaid for a token and postpaid for an account payment.
- Check the customer name or address before paying.
- Keep the transaction reference and do not repay while delivery is pending.
Before paying IBEDC
Have the meter or account number ready. Check every digit, then confirm the customer information returned by the validation step. If the name, address or distributor is wrong, stop and verify the number with Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company.
- Prepaid: meter number and purchase amount
- Postpaid: account number and intended payment amount
- A phone number or email where the receipt can be delivered
How to pay IBEDC with PayTavo
Choose Electricity on PayTavo, select the distributor, choose prepaid or postpaid, and enter the meter or account number. Confirm the returned customer details, enter the amount and review the total before opening payment.
After payment, remain on the transaction screen. A prepaid purchase is complete when the token is displayed; a postpaid purchase is complete when delivery to the electricity account is confirmed.
If payment succeeds but the token or credit is delayed
Do not begin another payment. Save the PayTavo reference and let the original transaction continue through delivery checks. A bank confirmation and electricity delivery are separate events, so a short delay does not automatically mean the transaction has failed.
If the transaction needs attention, share the reference, meter or account number, amount and time with support. Never share a card PIN, banking password or one-time password.
When to contact IBEDC
Contact Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company when customer validation fails repeatedly, a valid token is rejected by the meter, debt deductions look wrong, or the complaint concerns supply, wiring, metering or the electricity account itself. Payment platforms can trace a purchase but cannot repair a meter or change a distributor account.
Frequently asked
Can I pay IBEDC without creating an account?
PayTavo supports guest bill payment. Provide the correct bill details and a reachable delivery contact, then keep the transaction reference.
Why did my IBEDC prepaid purchase return fewer units than expected?
The receipt may include the tariff, taxes or electricity-account deductions applied by the distributor. Compare the amount paid, deductions and kWh delivered before reporting a discrepancy.
Who handles a rejected IBEDC token?
First confirm the token belongs to the exact meter and was entered in the right sequence. If it remains rejected, the serving distributor may need to check the meter, key-change status or account configuration.
