Pay Your Electricity Bill from Any Bank App
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.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Zero fee on standard electricity bill payments.

- Bill can be saved as a recurring biller for one-tap payment every month.
Cons:
- Some banks cap payment size or require SMS OTP for first-time billers.
- Apps occasionally display a stale bill; always confirm the amount before approving.
