Airtel service in Nigeria
Airtel Networks Limited (Airtel Nigeria) is a leading mobile telecommunications company in Nigeria.

Money is added instantly to Airtel Money accounts. You only need to make sure that the recipient already has an Airtel Money account. You will need the recipient's Mobile Money number.
