MTN Nigeria has launched
another innovative service called MTN
Auto Top-Up to enable customers conveniently and routinely top the airtime
on their phones.
DigitalSENSE Business
News reports that MTN is using this platform to ensure comfort for its high value
customers through a partnership with Nigerian banks.
Chief
Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria, Mr. Larry Annetts, told DigitalSENSE Business News
that MTN Auto Top-Up allows subscribers to recharge
their mobile account or pay their bills from available deposits in their bank
accounts with ease and convenience.
According
to him, the service is yet another addition to the growing plethora of
innovative ways by which MTN customers could replenish airtime credit.
“As
always, our objective is to deliver better value to our customers than anyone
else,” he said, emphasizing that the innovation is consistent with keeping with
customers in tune with tools that enhance their productivity. This service
brings a new level of convenience to our esteemed customers as it is designed
to deliver speed and simplicity,” he asserted.
Equally
speaking, the Executive Director, Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) Plc, Mrs.
Christabel Onyejekwe told DigitalSENSE Business News that this
service would give MTN’s subscribers an easy and very comfortable means of
auto-recharging.
“The
service leverages NIBSS interoperability capabilities that ensures smooth and
seamless payment from subscribers’ account in any Nigerian bank with no Payment
Card required,” she said.
The Corporate
Services Executive, MTN Nigeria, Wale Goodluck explained that to make use of
this service, subscribers need to log on to their bank internet platforms and
perform a one-off recharge of their
airtime or set up a recurring standing order mandate for airtime top up on any
date of their choice. Whatever option chosen, the equivalent amount of money is
debited from the deposit account and the airtime value is credited to the
phone.
He
also said that this service uniqueness is based on the customers’ standing
order, while the designated airtime value will be credited to the mobile
accounts on a continuous basis until the customer wishes to discontinue.
It
would be recalled that MTN also recently unveiled an enhanced version of its
Virtual Top Up (VTU) service tagged MTN
VTU Plus. The service enables
customers to buy airtime, MTN data services and logical PINs, as well as renew
Blackberry subscription directly from any VTU terminal or vendor nationwide.
