The app will be free to download, and there is no monthly fee. Each time you buy power, the amount you pay includes a service charge and VAT on that charge. The exact charge is shown before you pay. Buying electricity and adding money to a wallet are not open yet.

Before You Pay
Know exactly what you pay
The exact charge is shown before you pay. VAT applies to the service charge only, not to your electricity. These are the lines you see.
| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Total from your wallet | The amount you enter. Nothing is added on top of it. |
| Service fee | The Aditus Pay charge for this purchase. |
| VAT on the fee | VAT on the service fee only. |
| Electricity value | What is left for your meter after the service fee and the VAT. |
How many units you get depends on the price per unit set by the company that runs your mini-grid.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Buying is not open yet. When it opens, you will open Aditus Pay in the app or at app.pay.aditusos.com, put money in your wallet, then type the number written on your meter. We check that the meter is real, show you the full price, and once you agree we show your token in the app.
The app will be free to download. There is no monthly fee and no fee to join. Each time you buy power, the amount you pay includes a service charge and VAT on that charge. The exact charge is shown before you pay.
The amount you enter is the total taken from your wallet. The service charge and the VAT are part of that total, and the rest is the electricity value for your meter. You see each amount before you agree.
That depends on the price per unit set by the company that runs your mini-grid. Aditus Pay does not set or change the price of electricity.
Prepaid meters on mini-grids connected to Aditus Pay. No mini-grid is connected yet. Aditus Pay does not sell electricity for national-grid meters, such as those from DisCos.
Yes, once buying opens. Type their meter number instead of yours and pay from your own wallet. This is how a family member or neighbour without a bank account can still get power: they give you the cash, and you buy the power for their meter.
Adding money is not open yet. When it opens, you will pay by bank transfer or with a bank card, on the secure page of our payment provider, Flutterwave. You type your card details on their page, so Aditus Pay never sees or stores them. We do not charge you anything to put money in your wallet.
If the power company confirms the purchase failed, everything you paid, including the service charge, goes back into your wallet. Sometimes the result is not clear straight away, for example when the network drops. Then your purchase shows as pending while we check with the power company. We never keep your money for power you did not get.
In the app, if you buy power with no signal, the purchase is saved on your phone and sent as soon as the signal comes back. You are never charged twice for the same purchase.
