The Renmoney app is one of the easiest ways to buy airtime and data in Nigeria. You don’t need to visit the shop or the vendor, everything is on your phone.
The app also lets you save, apply for loans, pay bills and move money fast. Renmoney is regulated by the CBN and deposits are NDIC insured, so you’re using a proper microfinance bank app.
You can also get easy access to airtime and data subscriptions on some other fintech applications that also provide USSD Code such as the Links Microfinance USSD Code.
