The conventional method of airtime recharge is the traditional method where scratch cards are used to recharge airtime and pay bills. Customers using the traditional method will have to search for physical stores where they can buy scratch cards before they can recharge their phones or send the card pins to their friends and family to recharge their phones. Also to pay bills, they have to buy scratch cards.

Customers have been greatly inconvenienced and stressed out using the conventional method as they have to travel some distance to buy scratch cards. Again, it is time-consuming. To provide a solution to the persistent challenges of the traditional method of scratch cards, the telecommunication world came up with innovations such as the Virtual Top-up solution.

As compared to the traditional method of scratch cards, Virtual Top-up (VTU) is a service that allows customers to buy airtime and data directly to their mobile phones or recharge the mobile phones of their friends and family without the need for scratch card pins or vouchers.

VTU is a mobile service that helps customers to recharge electronically without the stress of searching for a physical recharge card or vouchers and without the danger of scratching off the digital numbers of a card while trying to recharge.

The e-wealth concept of virtual top-up provides a more convenient alternative for recharging customers' phones as well as those of their loved ones. With E-wealth VTU, you can top up airtime, recharge data, pay cable TV subscriptions, pay electricity bills, and send money 24/7.
