The number of websites and mobile applications that allow Nigerians to purchase Airtime Credits (Recharge vouchers) Online using ATM debit/credit cards and other online payment platforms has increased greatly.
Although it’s best for the economy when people perform more cashless transactions, it’s bound to put some people (local recharge card retailers) out of work, if they don’t adopt modern ways of vending airtime like VTU.
The access to airtime on-demand is not always a good thing for those trying to cut down on spending especially on calls and MTN Data subscriptions because the amount spent per month can sometimes drill a hole in your pocket without you noticing. So use with caution and apply some budgeting skills.
