If there is any outstanding balance on your account, a percentage of each top-up you buy goes towards reducing this until it is cleared (this is called a PC Contribution).
What does PC Contribution mean?
PC contribution stands for ‘Previous Charge’ Contribution.
You’ll see this on your top-up receipts if part of your top-up is going towards an outstanding balance on your account.
