How to Pay your Meralco Bill Online with BDO Online Banking

Are you still paying your Meralco Bill for your electricity consumption at the Meralco Office or at the bayad center?

Isn’t it a hassle especially if there’s a long line and you have to wait a couple more minutes to settle your bill? Or maybe for some, going to and from the bayad center will cost you additional money for your transpo.

Do you know that you can actually pay your Meralco bill online?

The good news is, yes, you can! In fact, many consumers (myself included) have already been paying our bills online. It’s fast, safe, and hassle-free.

   Once you have enrolled your Meralco Bill online, you can start paying your bill anytime, anywhere. Just make sure though, that you have enough funds in your account to pay your bill.
