<p>We’re in the process of moving all our customers to a new billing system, which will mean improvements and a new look to your invoices.</p>


<p>As part of our separation from OVO (SSE sold its retail business to OVO in 2019), we’re changing our Customer Management System. As part of the update, our billing system will also be changed, making your invoices easier to read and providing a clearer summary of your charges and transactions.</p>
<p><strong>Important things to note:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We’re changing our bank details. For more information, please see our ‘How do I pay my new invoice?’ section.</li>
<li>You’ll be given an Invoice Structure Identifier to replace your current Customer Account Number.</li>
<li>We’re moving customers across to our new system in stages, so you may continue to receive our old style of invoice for a few more months.</li>
<li>These changes won’t impact your supply.</li>
</ul>


<h2>What are the next steps for me?</h2>
<p>As we move our customers across to the new system over the next few months (up until the end of 2023), depending on how you currently pay your invoices, you’ll receive a combination of the following communications from us:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>An awareness letter with a two-page invoice insert :</strong> This will give you an overview 	of the changes we’re making to your invoices. You can see a copy of the letter <a href="https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/file/new-system-awareness-letter" title="New billing system- awareness letter">here</a>.</li>
<li><strong>A payment letter:</strong>  Depending on how you currently pay your invoices, you’ll 	either receive a <a href="https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/file/new-system-direct-debit-letter" title="New billing system- direct debit letter">Direct Debit letter</a>, a <a href="https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/file/new-system-non-direct-debit-letter" title="New billing system- non Direct Debit letter">Non-Direct Debit letter</a> (accompanied by a 	<a href="https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/file/direct-debit-mandate" title="Direct Debit  Mandate - SSE Energy Solutions ">Direct Debit Mandate</a>) or a combined letter.</li>
<li><strong>A new look invoice:</strong> Once you have been migrated to our new system, you’ll 		receive your first ‘<a href="https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/file/new-system-invoice-pdf" title="New billing system- invoice example ">new look’ invoice</a>, along with a more detailed, four-page invoice insert which 	outlines key changes to our invoices.</li>
</ol>


<h2>How do I pay my new invoice?</h2>
<p>Along with the system updates, we’re changing our bank details. These will be clearly marked on your new invoice.</p>
<p><strong>If you currently pay by Direct Debit:</strong> You don’t need to do anything. We’ll change this for you, which will be confirmed on your Direct Debit payment letter. You can see a copy of the letter <a href="https://www.sseenergysolutions.co.uk/file/new-system-direct-debit-letter" title="New billing system- Direct Debit letter">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>If you pay by Standing Order/CHAPS/Faster Payment/ BACS:</strong> You’ll need to update your system with our new bank account details. We’ll send these to you directly. You can validate these using your first invoice.</p>
