MTN Nigeria’s electronic mobile recharge vouchers through short USSD codes, online banking, Point of Sales (POS) and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) options, formerly known as VTU has been renamed to Topit.
The Mobile Network Operator (MNO) recently held a press conference at its head office in Ikoyi Lagos to officially announce the revamp and rename of its virtual top up services.
Topit provides an efficient means of recharge for data and airtime distribution across diverse forms of electronic recharge. With improved user experience, MTN says it mitigates against any perceived price distortions and eliminates the irregularities associated with recharge PINs / Vouchers / Cards. With Topit, MTN customers can buy airtime as low as one naira and up to three million naira.
According to MTN, the service is also beneficial to retailers, trade partners and potential new partners as it provides ease of entry to start a recharge business, while saving costs of warehousing and inventory management.
Speaking at the unveil, Adekunle Adebiyi, chief sales and distribution officer, MTN Nigeria, said, “We have launched this platform as part of our continuous drive to make customers’ lives easier, brighter and better. We believe in a modern connected world, one in which our customers can get solutions at the snap of their fingers. This is what Topit delivers. We are excited at the amazing opportunities this platform offers our customers, retailers and trade partners.”
The electronic recharge forms include Phone-to-Phone, POS, Bank’s ATM, MTN’s website and MyMTN App. Customers can also recharge via USSD, by dialing *456# or *904#
