"It is about time that the residents of the city of gold are provided with deserving services."
- Executive Mayor - Jolidee Matongo, 10 August 2021

Each and every statement, payment and electronic interaction is stored in history for your convenience. Our customer information page allows Ratepayers to update or correct their contact information.
One of the most important functions is the ability to securely handle municipal account payments online. Our payments are safe and secure, and keeps you in control when making payments.
We validate ownership of all bank accounts, for the safety of our users, before an instructed debit may be processed. Our credit/debit card capability, electronic funds transfer and all other payment mechanisms comply with relevant legislation and banking rules.
In addition, the system electronically controls all referencing ensuring that your payment is correctly allocated. This ensures that a payment made via an e-Joburg payment method immediately reflects within e-Joburg and once fully processed by the relevant Bank provides proof of payment.
Our instructed debit pull gives you full control over the amount and date on which you wish to pay, from any and all bank accounts. You can even instruct your payment for a future date should you be travelling or away on holiday and we will provide confirmation of payment via sms or email.
No more manual input, middlemen or human errors in capturing references! Importantly, no more service terminations due to delayed payment notifications or erroneous referencing.
In the unlikely event of a query, our integrated management tools allow for both you and the Municipality to view the same information for speedier resolution.
Human error and payment delays are two of the most common reasons for erroneous termination of services - e-Joburg removes these risks, that is City Smart!
The City continues to work on further enhancements and services.
Payment arrangements are on the way.
Electronic forms for services, automation of these service applications and improved query management are all on our agenda.
