In this post, we are going to outline the steps on how to reverse airtime purchase from your access bank account.
Purchasing airtime today has been made easier, more reliable, faster, efficient, and more effective so much so that you can purchase it from anywhere or place even from the comfort of your home.
You can purchase airtime through several ways like using Access bank mobile banking app which requires data or using the Access bank USSD code (*901*Amount#) for personal purchase and (*901*Amount*Phone Number#) for purchasing for family or friends. This can be done from any and every model of phone to your preferred network choice (Airtel, 9mobile, MTN, Glo).
As much as there is so much ease to purchasing airtime whether online or using USSD code, we are still prone to making mistakes even if it’s when purchasing airtime. For example, you want to transfer money but instead, you purchase airtime or intend to purchase airtime but type in the wrong amount like N10,000 instead of N1,000.
This happens sometimes and it brings up the question of how to reverse the airtime purchase which is what we are going to share some steps on how it can be done.
Firstly, we should know that Access Bank has a precaution in the form of having a maximum amount of airtime purchased daily which is N5,000 so with this any other higher amount inputted will be invalid.
There are a few things that need to be checked first before trying to reverse an airtime purchase error, they are:
- You must be sure that the phone number used to purchase the airtime is registered with your bank
- You must make that the purchased airtime has not been used especially in cases where the airtime was sent to the wrong number
- You must have the Access Bank customer care line or email handy
