Starting this Tuesday (19) the energy bill becomes one of the consumption items that can be paid by the beneficiaries with Caixa Econômica Federal Virtual Card. This action, pioneer in the country, was made possible because the company, one of the leaders in Brazilian energy sector, through Flexpag, included the modality to the payment platform in its distributors’ websites (Coelba-BA, Celpe-PE, Cosern-RN and Elektro-SP/MS). With this, customers may even pay non-paid bills from previous months.

Then, user will be referred to a registration with long-in and pass code, where they will find a Flexpag’s payment environment - the platform used for payments with credit cards and Caixa Elo Virtual Card.

After logging in, the process is simple: the customer has to select outstanding bills and inform the number of the debit virtual card issued via Caixa app, selecting “debit” modality for making the payment. A payment receipt will then be issued, completing the process. In case of doubts on how to use Caixa Econômica virtual card, the customer will find details in the bank’s official profiles and in the website www.cef.gov.br.
