I've been moved to ovo. My current gas payment card isn't working. I'm not paying £5 my old supplier didn't charge. I can't get on ovo app to see if I can get a bar code.

Hi
It’s possible that the account(s) are still moving over and might not be ready just yet. If you have Smart Meters, they’ll be in either Friendly Credit Mode/Non-Disconnect Mode, or would have been switched to acting like a pay monthly meter in the meantime.
Try calling 0330 175 9669 though. That team can check the status and issue PANs for the app to work.
Thanks for reply, I've had a txt say the move is all set up. Have rang 3 times only for the phone to be put on the side. I can hear everyone yet not talking to me.

Try again. If you still get nowhere, let me know
So apparently the shop has to type in ovo on their machine instead of my old supplier. New cards are being issued. This might help anyone else who's having issues. Thanks for replying. Daz...
Hi, I just got back from the store with a charged key. But the meter does not accept payment. How to recover a deposit that is on a key that does not work?

I’ve just replied to you. Please call 0330 175 9669 or use Live Chat via https://help.ovoenergy.com to arrange a new card. I’m afraid I can’t arrange one from here.

It may be possible to pop the card in the meter now, but I’d suggest checking with Support first just to be sure. They can also help you set up Priority Services Register stuff as well - but that should automatically carry over from your old supplier (which can also be checked via Support).

Hey
Welcome to the OVO Online Community,
I’d advise running the credit down before using the new card. Another Community Member asked the same question recently my advice was as follows:
The new gas cards carriers do advise to run the credit down, then put the card into the meter to register, then you can top up. This is because inserting the gas card may wipe a customers existing credit, which is a massive inconvenience. We have had anecdotal reports where a customer hasn't waited to run down the credit and it didn't wipe off the credit but its not something we can recommend.
We have an FAQ which you may find helpful:

Hi. I've just been advised by sse my account has gone over to ovo from today and I will here from then in a few weeks. My electric is an old style top up key meter. I have not been sent a new key. Do I continue to use my old sse key ( will this still work) until new one is sent xx
Thanks

Yup, keep using the existing key. It’ll either get reprogrammed automatically for OVO or you’ll get an OVO one later.
Thankyou
