Transferring Airtime To Bank Accounts. Should It Be Introduced? by Nobody: 7:53am On Jun 24, 2015
I will be glad if transferring airtime to bank accounts is introduced. Imagine crediting our bank accounts with recharge cards instead of going to the bank, especially when we intend depositing small amount of money. I think this will reduce the queue in banks and other stress experienced during bank deposit.

It's just a suggestion. Don't know how feasible it could be. What do you think?

Hmmmm.

Sounds weird but highly sensible.

Have you thought of any charges, will the bank charge for that or the mobile network provider?

This will really reduce the annoying queues in the banking hall though.
Quote me, if any bank is to start this - it will be GTBank, others will then copy follow.


Great Idea.

It's not a bad idea. Afterall, we've heard of untapped oppourtunity, this might be an untapped idea. Nothing is impossible, we only need time to make it realistic.

In some african countries ,the mobile network company act as banks , you go to them and give them ur money ,and u can transfer to another person that also uses the same network,all the person needs to do is to go to the network office with a reference number. But the op idea is a workable one and as well a brilliant one too , but very difficult . Let's get a scenario that u buy a 500 naira recharge card and u want to send it to ur account. The question is where will u load it to? The only possible thing here is there should be a third party business that collects the card from u ,then credit ur bank account. This is a great business idea from the op. So let's assume I have a company that has all the IT facilities, the bank customer wants to load his account on sunday ,all he has to do is send the recharge to me ,the system verifies it with the network and I load his account. Now the difficult angle is the network has to pay the money back to the third party after removing their own charges . This is where the snag is .

Great idea. Lalasticlala i think this should be on fp so that Nigerians should say what they think about this.

it's good idea which i develop some year back then, i called MTN customer care line to tell them my suggestion but uptill now i've not see any sign of that idea. i wish i could be a software developer, i would have create a software lik that long ago.

being the software developer is not the solution here. u need to understand and verify that the parties involved have agreed. thorough analysis is the first approach in software developer.

My suggestion is that networks that partner with individual banks can work it out easily. Or, a middleman procedure should be invited to handle airtime to money and vice versa

nice idea. today clocked 3years that have been dreaming of this.but it will not work infavour of the network provider.because it will reduce the consumebility of the cards
