An online platform for secure airtime recharge, mobile top-up and prepaid re-up has been launced in Nigeria.
Quick Airtimelaunched by Coremobile will allow users choose between Interswitch, PayPal, Google-Wallet, Verified by Visa and Etranzact. Quick Airtimealso operates a marketplace business model that allows people on the street selling recharge cards to expand their businesses online.
According to Uduak Asuquo, head of research at Coremobile Projects, it is important for users to have options, but most importantly we wanted to ensure that every user service delivery protocol resides on a triplex redundancy infrastructure.
Utibeabasi Edet, Coremobile Projects president of engineering, said the platform was developed with a target of five seconds and is the fastest and simplest online recharge platform in the world.
“It is part of why we built the auto-top-up feature in our mobile apps which automatically loads your phone when your airtime is out. He said: “It has never been done anywhere in the world.
“We delivered a special opportunity for micro businesses. There is competition. Some stores have older stock and are willing to sell at a discount. This explains why buying airtime on www.quickairtime.com is always cheaper than buying on the streets in Nigeria, United States and most of the 120+ countries available on Quick Airtime. I believe everybody, especially international travellers, will enjoy Quick Airtime,” he said.
