Who BEDC serves

Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) covers Edo, Delta, Ondo, and Ekiti states. If your customer's address falls outside these states, confirm their actual disco before vending — a token bought against the wrong distributor will not load.

Validate before you pay

Enter the meter number on VendPower and review the customer name that comes back. This pre-validation step exists specifically to stop misdirected payments, so don't skip it even for repeat customers — meter ownership can change.

Completing the purchase

Pick an amount, confirm the wallet balance covers it, and submit. BEDC tokens typically arrive within seconds, but during peak hours (evenings, month-end) allow a short delay before assuming something went wrong.

Entering the token

Key in the full digit sequence on the meter exactly as received — no spaces, no rounding. BEDC meters usually confirm a successful load with a short on-screen message or beep sequence.

When BEDC is slow to respond

Disco-side delays happen occasionally and are outside any vendor's control. Rather than retrying the purchase, check the transaction status on your dashboard — VendPower automatically requeries pending BEDC transactions so you get a token once the disco responds, instead of risking a double charge.
