how to buy airtime from sterling bank

To save yourself the hassle of running out to buy airtime from vendors around your location, you could simply use the online services made available to you by Sterling Bank. You can also get airtime at any time of the day, midnight included. It is also advantageous for you if you don’t have money with you and still wish to purchase airtime! To get started, this post on how you can buy airtime from your Sterling bank account will go a long way to help you.

However, before you get started, you must have first enabled the mobile banking service for your account. The process is quite simple as all you would mostly need is a functional phone with a working carrier service. You don’t need data for this service either.

To get the sterling bank mobile banking service activated, follow the guidelines below

  • Dial *822# with the telephone number that you used when getting your account registered with the Sterling Bank.
  • Click the ‘1’ icon to start with the process.
  • Type in your account number. That should be about ten digits.
  • Type in the details of the account that is tied to your debit card.
  • Now, you’ll be prompted to create a 4-digit PIN that would help you to authorize access to your account.
  • Then, you’d be prompted to retype your PIN for validation.
  • You are now ready to work with the mobile banking services.

The good thing about this service is that most of the major carrier services in Nigeria—Glo, Mtn, Airtel and 9mobile—reckon with it. So, once you buy airtime via this method, you’d instantly get a credit alert from your carriers. In case you happen to not receive a credit alert from your carrier, you shouldn’t worry too much as the money would eventually be bounced back to your account. This issue seldom happens though, and even when it does, it’s usually because of a bad network.
