Etisalat Canvasses Cash-less Transactions with Automated Recharge.

Etisalat has implemented its automated recharge model (instant and mandate options) to enable customers recharge their phones or buy data electronically, notwithstanding where they are or what time of the day it is.

This move, the firm said, would provide convenience in airtime top-up for its subscribers.

According to a statement on Sunday, the automated recharge mandate service allows Etisalat subscribers, who have bank accounts and are registered on the Internet banking platform to leave an instruction with their banks for their Etisalat line or lines to be credited with the desired amount of airtime on specific dates or once a certain airtime credit level is reached.

Customers, the firm explained, could also buy credit for themselves, family and friends with the automated recharge instant option by filling in the details on the Etisalat transaction page provided on their bank’s Internet banking platform.

The Director, Business Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Lucas Dada, explained that the offerings had the backing of the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System to ensure safety.

He  said, “Etisalat has unveiled these innovative recharge solutions to ensure that our customers never worry about running out of credit again. These options offer customers simple and convenient means of buying airtime and data bundles, as well as making post-paid bill payments directly from their bank accounts through Internet banking.”

He hinted that customers could access these services simply by logging on to their online

banking platform and selecting Etisalat on the NIBSS e-BillsPay in the payment or bill payment section.

He advised that customers could take advantage of the automated recharge mandate to control telephone spending by setting up a specific amount to debit and specific date to recharge or buy data bundles.

He said, “Customers can set up a mandate instructing the bank to debit their bank accounts and credit the same amount to their lines on a specific date or once a certain airtime-credit level is reached. These offerings are so flexible that a customer can top-up from as low as N50 up to any amount desired.”

The Executive Director, Business Development, NIBSS, Mrs. Christabel Onyejekwe, was quoted as saying, “This service rides on the eBillsPay service which is powered by the Instant Payment platform provided by NIBSS, which all Nigerian banks are already connected to.
