To save on commissions and access many other benefits, you can open an Enel X Pay account , through which you will get an online account with an Italian IBAN , a Mastercard card (which you can always manage via the Enel X Pay app) and everything else you need. it is used to manage your daily expenses at 1 euro / month (plus 10 euro for the initial top-up for the activation of the account). By opening the account, the commissions on pagoPAs are lowered to € 0.50 per operation (as well as all other payments, except for Enel Energia’s pagoPAs, which obviously remain commission-free).

Going into more detail, in addition to the Enel X Pay Standard plan (1 euro / month) , which includes online account with Italian IBAN, physical and virtual Mastercard card, online payments and wire transfers, bill payment, pagoPA and car tax, Apple Pay , money exchanges and divide free spending, salary credit and customer assistance via app and toll-free number, you can activate as an additional option the Enel X Pay Family plan (1 euro / account per month) , which allows you to obtain Junior accounts for your children from 11 to 17 years with dedicated cards and parental control functions. Read more here .

If you do not intend to register, you can act as a browser through the Enel X Pagacomodo service available on the Enel X Pay website , with which you can pay your bills by manually entering the data in the appropriate fields: you will find everything explained in detail in the chapter of this tutorial dedicated to the payment of pagoPA from PC . Also in this case the commissions are 2 euros per transaction (with the exception of Enel Energia’s pagoPA, whose commissions are always equal to 0 euros). Having clarified this, let’s ban the chatter and see how to proceed with payments from the app.

Registration and account opening

As a first step, download the Enel X Pay app for Android or iPhone from the store of your device (just visit the links I just provided, press the Install / Get button and possibly verify your identity), start it and press on the Pay Now button .

Then scroll through the information screens relating to the payment functions offered by the application and press the Register for free button , in order to start the free registration procedure. Enter, therefore, your name , surname , telephone number , email and password and go on .

At this point, accept the terms and conditions and privacy policy by ticking the appropriate boxes, go ahead and certify your phone number by entering the verification code you receive via SMS, then do the same with the  link you received via email .

Now you can choose whether to open an account or to  use the Enel X Pay app immediately to pay pagoPA and bills via an external payment card, paying commissions equal to 2 euros per transaction.

In the first case, proceed directly with what is indicated in the next chapter of the guide . In the second case, instead, make sure you have a valid identity document at hand and go ahead.

You will be asked to enter some personal data ,  your address  and to answer questions about your  profession , your degree of  political exposure  and your  income (this is confidential information that Enel X Pay must request by law).

Then you will have to  digitally sign the proposed documentation (everything is done from the app, you don’t have to already have a digital signature) and you will have to make a selfie video . Once the account has been opened (you will have to wait for the verification procedure of the documentation provided, which generally takes a maximum of a few hours), to activate it, you will have to top it up with at least 10 euros via another card or a bank transfer.

For more information on the entire procedure, you can consult my tutorial on how Enel X Pay works , in which I explained everything in great detail.

PagoPA payment

Once you have registered (and if you have opened an account), you can pay pagoPA with the Enel X Pay app in a very simple way. All you have to do is access the application tab dedicated to payments and press the pagoPA button .

In the screen that opens, if you want to frame the QR code of the bulletin with the smartphone camera, press on the camera icon (if necessary, grant the app permissions to access the camera) and frame the QR. Automatically, the app will fill in the Creditor Code and Warning Code fields with the information obtained from the QR (alternatively you can fill in the fields “manually”, pressing on them and typing the necessary information using the keyboard of your smartphone).

Then check the information relating to the recipient of the pagoPA notice (i.e. the payer; your name should therefore be there) and confirm . If you have an Enel X Pay account , you can complete the transaction directly with it by paying a commission of 0.50 euros (as for all other payments); if, on the other hand, you do not have an Enel X Pay account, you can pay with a Mastercard, Visa, VPAY or Maestro payment card , issued in Italy with a commission of 2 euros (with the exception of the Enel Energia pagoPA , whose commissions are always equal to 0 euros ).

Once the payment has been made, the receipt will be issued immediately , which you will find by selecting the transaction in the movement list of the app.
