Easiest Method to Buy Airtime From Any Bank in Nigeria Without Internet Banking & ATM

Network providers in Nigeria have done a great job by allowing customers borrow airtime whenever they are stranded, but I think letting their customers recharge directly from their mobile phones without moving an inch whatsoever like going to the ATM is something amazing. 

Yes surely you might have some money in your bank account probably budgeted, but you also have some extra change on top of your budget which you could use to make your recharge for calls.

Chill, I’ll show you today how to recharge from your bank while you are at home or even stranded, I use this method with my GT bank whenever I want to subscribe, and when I need airtime as well.
