Prepay Energy as a Gateway for Customer Engagement

The concept of prepay in the utility space has historically been viewed as utility-centric, complex and cumbersome. Today, the bar has been raised, as customers expect more options, flexibility and visibility regarding the services they receive.

In 2015, there were 244 million international immigrants – the highest number ever recorded and up 12 million from 2013.[i] The 2016 numbers will no doubt be higher. Many immigrants move to new countries in search of a better life. Some are escaping poverty, war, or famine; others are seeking an education; and some simply want to start anew.
