Abu Dhabi: Residents now have another option in paying their bills — they can go to the post office.

Emirates Post Group’s post offices have started offering customers the convenience of paying their Abu Dhabi Distribution Company (ADDC) bills due to their central location, multiple counters and extended timings. ADDC is a division of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA).

To use the service, customers can visit any post office in any emirate and present their bill or account number. In case of disconnection, customers can get water and electricity reconnection on the same day as soon as the due amount has been paid at the post office.

“Our facility of paying bills of Abu Dhabi Distribution Company is part of our overall strategy of enabling customers of different utility companies to pay their bills with ease at post offices. We are pleased that this service is popular with customers because of our central location and extended timings six days a week, ” Ebrahim Bin Karam, CCO of EPG, said.

Residents can pay their bills even after office hours as the main post offices are open from 8am to 8pm. Different branches have different timings. For more information on the timings, visit www.epg.gov.ae
