Utilities
How to pay for electricity, gas, water and internet, where to find your subscriber number and what to do when you are cut off.
checked in August 2026In Georgia the tenant pays the utilities. Bills come separately for each service, and you have about two weeks to pay. Miss that and they cut you off quickly and without warning — the first thing to get used to.

🔢 Where to find your subscriber number
- 1Ask the owner on move-in day — they definitely have the numbers, and it is the fastest route.
- 2Look at an old bill: the subscriber number is printed large on every one.
- 3Check the meter itself or the fuse box — the number is often stuck on.
- 4You need several numbers: separate ones for electricity, gas and water. Photograph them all at once.
- 5While you are at it, photograph the readings on move-in day so you do not pay for the previous tenants.
💳 How to pay
In your banking app
The easiest way. TBC and Bank of Georgia both have a utilities section: enter the subscriber number once and after that it is two taps. You can set up automatic payment.
At a street terminal
Terminals stand by shops and bus stops and take cash. An option while you have no bank account.
The terminal charges a small fee and gives no change — the remainder goes onto your account.
Internet and television
Paid the same way, by contract number through the banking app. The providers are Magti and Silknet.
