I have had new  pay as you go electric meter installed today and got a new top up key. How long for the new key to be activated ?

I tried toping it up earlier today and the key was’nt recognized at the paypoint. Is there waiting period to for my new key to be activated ?

grateful for any help.

Have you (or the meter installer) registered the new key with the meter?

You won’t be able to put credit on the key at a paypoint until that has been done first.
