Metro Prepaid Uk

Metro Prepaid was formed in 2015, to help landlords collect utility payments from tenants using electric sub meters.

Metro Prepaid is customer-centric – we are totally passionate about serving our customers, whether they be landlords, sub meter sellers, installers or tenants.

Metro Prepaid sub meter does not replace the main landlord meter, they must be connected downstream of the main landlord meter. The existing landlord meter will remain in the property and within the utility area. These are what are considered sub meters, used for sub or secondary metering only and may not be used as a main or primary meter.

Using our electric sub meters is beneficial as they reduce the administration of bills as you get more control and improved cash flow with the faster installation process. This also improves your property valuation and the tenants will appreciate the easy top-ups, control of their electricity usage with better technology.

The electric sub meter is installed with it’s own consumer board, where needed, and to top-up their electricity, the tenant will have to go to any PayPoint store (e.g. Co-op) with a meter card or a 19 digit PayPoint barcode to get their recharge pin. Tenants can also top-up their electricity through online payments, transfers through Barclays or get Power Codes from here.

The cost of landlord electricity flowing through the prepaid sub meters is recovered through power codes sold, and is repaid to the landlord by Metro Prepaid (monthly via bank payment). Metro prepaid collects the payments from the tenants for their usage and pays this money to the landlord so that they pay their account with the energy supplier.

You can ask a trusted local electrician to install the sub meter for you.
