Alternative Ways to Pay Your Dstv Subscription

By Staff Writer Updated - Sep 19, 2021

While a lot of people are used to the traditional ways of paying their Dstv accounts at retail stores, there are alternative ways you can achieve this.

Today I want to show you the better and convenient ways to manage your Dstv payments automatically or from home.

Let's dive right in.

Debit Order

By far, the most convenient and simplest ways of paying your Dstv subscription every month.

It's a reliable method of managing your account that will always keep your payments up to date.

Your job as a customer is to have funds in your bank account so that when the date comes, Dstv can automatically collect their money for the service.

You can set up your Dstv debit order online or via the call center.

Instant EFT

If you prefer to manually pay your accounts every month, then this method is the second-best option.

You'll manage your manage Dstv subscriptions using your online banking or banking apps to make internet transfers.

First, you'll need to check the balance of the amount you owe on the Dstv dashboard or by dialing *120*68584# from your mobile phone.

Then on your banking app or internet banking, in the recipient input, select MultiChoice as a beneficiary and use your 8-digit customer number as a reference.

The best part?

You can save the payment details in your list and make the next payments easily. And if you bank with Nedbank, it'll automatically set this up as a debit order.

ATMs

Did you know, ATMs offer similar capabilities as internet banking and banking apps?

You can now make Dstv payments using ATMs of your bank and follow a similar process as when using your mobile app.

Select MultiChoice as a beneficiary and enter your 8-digit customer number to complete your payment.

Supermarkets

A lot of Dstv customers prefer this method of paying subscription accounts.

I guess it's easier and safer to do this while busy shopping for groceries. With a lot of online banking scams and ATM card frauds, I don't blame people opt-in to use supermarkets as the preferred way of paying their subscriptions.

MTN MoMo

MTN MoMo has been helping people across the country to transfer money and pay for bills - all from a mobile phone.

And the best part is that it works on any South African cellphone number, not just with MTN only.

This includes paying for your Dstv service and here's how you can do it:

  1. Download the MTN MoMo App and register for free.
  2. Select Option 4 - Pay and Buy
  3. Choose to Pay TV and Media
  4. Select *DStv*
  5. Enter your 5 digit MoMo pin
  6. Enter your account or SA ID number
  7. Confirm payment and receive proof of payment
