Every South African bank follows the same three ideas: find the biller, enter the reference, confirm the amount. Once you understand that, how to pay DSTV using online banking is the same skill at any bank.
How to pay DSTV online banking: the steps
- 1
Log in to your internet banking
Use the browser version or the app — both reach the same bill payment feature. Never use a link from an SMS or email to get there.
- 2
Open bill payments or public beneficiaries
Look for Bill Payments, Public Recipients, Prepaid & Bills or Approved beneficiaries, depending on the bank. Search for MultiChoice.
- 3
Enter your DStv reference
Type your DSTV account number into the reference field. This is the only thing linking your money to your decoder, so double-check it.
- 4
Confirm, authorise and save the beneficiary
Enter the amount, authorise, and save MultiChoice as a beneficiary so next month paying your DSTV online is two taps.
