Estimados:
La frase aparece en una app de un banco en donde dice que se pueden abonar los servicios desde el esta aplicaciòn. Solo dice: "pago de servicios". ¿"Public services" aplicaría al pago de luz, gas, etc?. Desde ya, muchas gracias!!

pay [utility] bills / bills payment
I'm doubtful that we use "services" in English to say this, isn't it more normal to say "bills"?
To be specific you could say "pay utility bills", but simply "pay bills" or "pay your bills" would do in my opinion.
Presumably, this is the part of the app you can use to pay your bills, so the verb form "pay..." would work, or you could translate it as "bills payment".
"HOW TO PAY UTILITY BILLS DURING COVID-19
Reduce your bill and avoid scams.
En español: Utilities serve many purposes in our lives, from keeping our food and medicine refrigerated, to washing and drying our clothes, to charging our computers and phones."

payment for services
Payment for a personal service or skill that someone provides, like an attorney, or a translator. "Public services" as indicated are generally referred to as "Utilities." Basically everything else you pay for is a product and therefore a "purchase."
