The advent of technology and mobile phone communication has made airtime a basic necessity. This is a need that usually peaks at times like this when airtime vendors go on holiday. But during this December season, you will not need to worry over how you can load your mobile phone or Internet device with airtime.
This is because the Co-operative Bank has a feature on its mobile banking app MCo-op Cash. The feature allows users to buy airtime on MCo-op Cash.
This means that as long as you have the app installed in your phone, you will no longer hustle your way to the nearest shop or airtime vendor to buy your mobile credit.
Instead, all you will be required to do will be to log in and purchase the credit from the comfort of your mobile device.
Interestingly, the new feature has not limited users to one service provider. In fact, Kenyans will be able to buy mobile credit irrespective of whether they use Safaricom, Airtel, or Telkom.
“Kenyans will be able to buy airtime worth Sh. 50 to Sh. 999 straight from MCo-op Cash,” said a statement from the Co-operative Bank.
