Payment Facilities

Recently Zesco lunched this new payment facility called DDACC (Direct Debit and Credit Clearing Service). This payment facility allows our customers with kwacha bank accounts to reduce on queuing up to pay their bills. A mandate form can filled in from any of our customer service centres, where a ceiling on the amount to be paid is established and every month the customers account will be debited with the agreed amount, and the same amount credited to the ZESCO account.Customers on the DDACC arrangement will enjoy the benefits of, not queuing up, no power cut notices and a convenient payment method.

Part Payment

Zesco operates a flexible payment method, known as a Cash planner. This is a payment commitment plan which our customers who have arrears and are un able to settle them all at the time power cut is threatening them with a notice, may wish to make use of for a period of three months only. Clients may freely wish to sign the payment commitment plan, even before they are given a notice, this is done by paying at least 50% of the outstanding balance on the account and the balance to be paid in three equal instalments.
