MTN to offer international top-up “‘everywhere you go”
MTN and the leading airtime remittance services provider, TransferTo, have teamed up to offer international mobile top-up services to customers across borders via TransferTo’s global network.
International mobile top-up is a cost-effective complement to cash remittances that enables instant and convenient small value transfers in the form of prepaid mobile credits.
Money transfer companies, including other businesses targeting migrant populations – such as mobile operators, retailers and financial institutions and telecoms providers – offer this remittance service to their customers who find it to be an ideal low-cost, high value gift.
A statement in Accra on Wednesday said MTN’s “vast footprint” spanned 21 markets in Africa and the Middle East, connecting more than 150 million mobile subscribers in markets where a significant number of prepaid customers had relatives living and working abroad.
TransferTo operates a global airtime remittance network which will enable MTN’s 21 operations to reach emigrants and meet their growing demand for reliable and always-available airtime transfer services.
