Frequently Asked Questions

Buy airtime online in Nigeria

Buying airtime through Mabro means topping up any Nigerian line from your wallet in seconds, without a scratch card and without a trip to a vendor. Choose the network, enter the number, enter the amount, confirm with your PIN.

Because the airtime is paid for from your wallet balance, you fund once and then buy as often as you like — no card to enter for each top-up, and no card fees stacking up on small purchases.

Top up your own line or someone else's

Mabro tops up any number, not just the one registered to your account. That covers the obvious cases — sending airtime to family, topping up a line you manage, helping someone who is out of credit — and it works across networks, so you are not restricted to sending airtime within your own network.

Airtime for all four networks

MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile are all supported. The app detects the network from the phone number as you type, which removes the most common cause of a failed top-up: sending airtime to a number on the wrong network.

Any amount, delivered instantly

Airtime is credited to the recipient's line within seconds of confirming. There is no bundle to choose from — you enter the amount you want, and the app will not let you buy more than your wallet can cover.

Airtime in the other direction

If you have more airtime than you need, it does not have to sit there. Mabro also converts airtime to cash, so excess credit on a line can be turned into spendable naira in your wallet. Between buying airtime and converting it, both directions are covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum amount?

The minimum airtime purchase is ₦50. There is no maximum limit — you can buy as much as your wallet balance allows.

What if the wrong number is entered?

Always double-check the phone number before confirming. Once an airtime transaction is processed, it cannot be reversed.

Can I buy airtime for a number on another network?

Yes. Mabro supports MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile, and you can buy for any number on any of them — the app identifies the network from the number you enter.

How do I buy airtime from my wallet?

Fund your Mabro wallet from any Nigerian bank, then choose Buy Airtime, enter the number and amount, and confirm with your 6-digit PIN. There is no card to enter each time.

Can I buy airtime in small amounts?

Yes. There is no bundle to pick from — you enter the amount you want, as long as it is within the minimum and your wallet balance covers it.

What is the cheapest way to buy airtime?

Paying from a funded wallet avoids per-purchase card fees, and fewer larger top-ups cost less in fees than many small ones. The amount and any fee are shown before you confirm.
