Yes. In fact, this is the biggest feature of the Meralco mobile app. Upon signing in, your current bill/balance is displayed in the ‘Overview’ screen.
The displayed amount is your total balance. To see your unpaid bills from previous months, you can click the bright orange Pay Now button.
Once you’re in, you can see your unpaid bills. You can tap each billing date to see more details about them, respectively. We have a more detailed tutorial for paying the Meralco bill using the app for you to check out.
Can I see my power usage on the MERALCO smartphone app?
Yes. In the Overview page, you can see a power consumption graph of the last seven months. You won’t be able to compute your Meralco bill in real time, but it gives you information of your historical usage.
For a more detailed look, you can click the hamburger menu icon on the top left (the one with three lines). Once the side menu is out, tap the Consumption Report, and rotate the screen in landscape. You can tap each graph to see the total KWH usage for that month.
