MiBank, in partnership with PNG Power Limited (PPL), has formed agents to monitor illegal power consumers outside of Port Moresby and in other centers around the country.
PPL in a statement said these agents would enable the illegal power consumers registered under PPL’s amnesty project. They (illegal power consumers) are residing in the outside of the city to make payment by using the MiBank Agents.
The PPL Amnesty project in partnership with MiBank have carried out the first Pilot Cash Collection awareness at Boera Village in Port Moresby today 27 to 28, August 2024.
PPL & MiBank launched the partnership in May 2024 in Port Moresby, and it exemplifies a new chapter for PPL Amnesty Consumers to have access and pay their power bills remotely.
The PPL Amnesty imitative is the fourth phase and has been ongoing since 2022 and collaborating with USAID –PNG Electrification partnership (USAID – PEP)
Milbank has an extensive network of over 250 agents across PNG and this provides an efficient platform for PPL Amnesty bill collection.
Through MiBank, PPL Amnesty consumers have 2X payments methods to pay for their power bills: MiBank Mobile Banking– Online App available on Google Play Store, and MiBank Mobile SMS Banking USSD code.
PPL Amnesty consumers must have an account with MiBank and have access to its products in order to use this payment portal.
Through the MiBank, it is a bank account that is operated through a mobile phone linked to all three (3) mobile networks. PPL Amnesty consumers can pay a minimum of K30 and a maximum of K5000 for their power bills using these two (2) payments methods.
PPL Amnesty consumers must have these credentials: Have Milbank account and card, have access to MCash and have a smart phone in order to access the online MiBank Mobile Banking App & MiBank Mobile Banking USSD code.
Meanwhile, the PPL Amnesty Pilot Cash Collection with MiBank will also be carrying out awareness at Morata 1 Community Hall, Port Moresby in September 2024. We are encouraging PPL Amnesty customers to come forward and register with MiBank to link your accounts to access these payments methods.
This will help customers to pay for their Amnesty power bills on real time using their smart mobile phones.
