You’ll get details on how to sign into your new account, these won’t be in your first welcome email, but will be sent to you a few days later. All your account details will be available once we send you information on how to sign into your account via ‘My Account’.
We’ll try and keep things as easy as possible for you with this change – if you currently pay by direct debit that will stay the same. You don’t need to do anything.
If you want to change your direct debit details, simply do this in My Account or the Contact App once we send you details on your new account.
If you pay your bill by credit card, your card details won’t be coming over to us due to security reasons. Once you’ve received your Contact Account number from us on email, here’s how you can help set up your credit card for bill payment if you want to continue to pay by credit card.
Simply call our secure credit card line on 0800 266 851, choose option 4, and our automated service will guide you through. Just have your Contact Account number and your credit card details handy. Once you’ve done this, paying your bill will happen automatically from your credit card. Our fee for credit card payments is 0.95% - so a bit cheaper than what you might be used to! For customers paying by direct debit, there's nothing you need to do.
To make it easy, we can sort your payment arrangement for you. We just need your permission to contact WINZ, your Contact Account number which you’ll receive from us on email, Social Welfare number and a few other details. You can do it all here and we will upload your details as soon as we hear from you.
