You can still pay your CoJ account during the holidays
CoJ wishes its customers a happy festive season
The City of Johannesburg (CoJ) would like to wish all its customers a safe and happy holiday during the festive season.
“Our customers are an integral part of the business, and we value their happiness and safety. It is for this reason that we wish them well during the busy December holidays,” said spokesperson Kgamanyane Maphologela.
He urged customers to continue paying their municipal rates and services accounts to ensure their festive mood is smooth and uninterrupted. Customers were reminded that the CoJ credit control department will continue monitoring all accounts and defaulting customers will be facing the risk of being cut off – an unpleasant experience during one’s December holidays.
For those who will be going away during the festive season, there are a variety of quick, easy and safe electronic facilities available for them to make their payments. The following methods can be used:
• Direct deposits to Standard Bank:
– CoJ accounts can be paid by making a direct deposit over the counter at any Standard Bank, country-wide.
– Just insert the unique beneficiary number allocated to the CoJ in the account number field (AA45).
– To ensure your deposit is allocated to the correct municipal account, you should use your nine digit municipal account number in the depositor’s name or reference field.
– You need to ensure that all over-the-counter payments are accompanied by your account.
• Internet payments:
– Delete the old CoJ beneficiary (Absa account number 4054398463) and add the pre-loaded beneficiary titled City of Johannesburg Company Beneficiary.
– You should use your nine digit municipal account number as a reference when making payments.
• ATM, telephone banking and other:
– If you are a customer making payments via stop order, telephone banking or the ATM, you have to change the banking details at your own bank. If you are using a debit order, no changes need to be made.
• Third-party payments:
– Third-party payments can be made at Pick n Pay, Checkers and Woolworths.
– You need to have your account with you to use this method.
– Customers have to remember that payments made at these stores may take up to five days to register on the City’s system.
He concluded by saying, “We wish you a happy and safe festive season!”
