Etisalat Nigeria has announced the introducti­on of automated recharge (Instant and Mandate options) to enable customers recharge their phones or buy data electronic­ally no matter where they are or what time of the day it is.

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.

According to the company, customers can 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.

Speaking about the platform, Director, Business Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Lucas Dada, explained that these offerings have the backing of the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) to ensure safety. Dada said “Etisalat has launched these innovative recharge solutions to ensure that our customers never worry about running out of credit again.
