FCMB eliminates insufficient airtime constraints for customers

First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has introduced a unique product, the FCMB Airtime Advance, to enable customers to borrow between N200 and N5,000 directly from their bank accounts to purchase airtime, regardless of their financial standing.

The airtime advance solution aims to provide immediate relief to customers who may be in urgent need of airtime to make phone calls, send text messages or engage in other essential communication activities.

With FCMB Airtime Advance, customers will no longer need to agonise over how to top up airtime on their phone lines.

The product will eliminate the discomfort of getting disconnected in the middle of telephone calls due to insufficient airtime by bridging the funding gap. Customers with or without existing FastCash loans can access the Airtime Advance based on eligibility by dialing FCMB’s USSD code of *329# or via the loan string *329*11#. The loan has flexible repayment cycles, and the repayment is taken from funds in the customer’s account.
