    How To Transfer Money From MTN Mobile Money To Bank Account In Ghana

    Thanks to technology, today, we don’t have to walk anywhere just to pay bills. You can do that from the comfort of your home.

    With MTN Mobile Money, you can pay bills, send money to family and friends, buy airtime and pay for data packages from your home.

    What most people don’t know is that you can actually pay money into bank accounts in Ghana through your mobile money. It’s very simple.

    There are two ways of doing this. I’ll take you through the steps involved in both ways.

    Transferring Money To A Linked Bank Account

    A linked bank account is an account which has been connected to your mobile money account for mobile banking.

    Most banks in Ghana today have mobile banking services to enable their customers to perform transactions in their homes without necessarily coming to the banking halls.

    If you’ve registered for this service with your bank, then this method will work for you.

    1. Dial *170#
    2. Enter 5 for financial services
    3. Enter 1 for banking services
    4. Enter 1 to transfer to your bank
    5. Select your bank from the list
    6. Press 1 to select your account
    7. Enter the amount to transfer
    8. Press 1 to confirm
    9. Enter pin code to approve the transaction.

    Note: You can only transfer to your own account using this method.

    Transferring To An Unlinked Account

    With this method, you can transfer money from your mobile money number to over 20 banks in Ghana. The bank account doesn’t have to be your personal account for you to send money to it, using this method. Once the bank is listed, you can send money to any account number associated with that number.

    1. Dial *170#
    2. Press 1 to transfer money
    3. Select 6 to send to the bank account
    4. Press 1 to send from wallet to bank account
    5. Select your bank from the list
    6. You can press * and # to go to the previous or next page respectively
    7. Enter the account number you wish to send the money to
    8. Enter the amount you wish to transfer
    9. The account holder name will come up. Confirm and enter your password to forward transaction.

    Conclusion

    With this method, it is easy for you to make payment to any bank in Ghana that is on the list of mobile banking companies.

    Some of the banks listed include GCB Bank, ADB Bank, Access Bank, GT Bank, UMB, UBA Bank, Stanchart, Absa, NIB, Zenith, Cal, Ecobank, Stanbic, FBN, Fidelity, CBG, First National, ARB Apex Bank, BSIC, Services Integrity Among others.

    However, if your bank is not listed in the list above, you may have to fall on other payment applications which create options for you to make payment to other banks at very fair rates.

    Look out for our next post about one of the newest and best payment apps in Ghana presently.

  • How To Borrow Airtime And Data On MTN Ghana More Than Once

    How To Borrow Airtime And Data On MTN Ghana More Than Once

    More than often, we run out of airtime in the middle of a call or texting.

    Usually, one would be left with much pain when this happens.

    Most times, you’ll have to resort to your mobile money wallet, thanks to MTN Mobile money.

    But, what happens if you don’t have a mobile money wallet or in the worst-case scenario, your mobile money wallet is also empty?

    That brings a challenge. Perhaps it’s even deep at night or a place far from town.

    How do you get airtime to finish what you started?

    You know, leaving someone at the peak of a conversation could go down as a bad vibe at the end of the day.

    You certainly don’t want to create any negative impression. So you want to be sure to catch up as soon as possible.

    Well, MTN Ghana foresaw this problem occurring and hence decided to help you with the MTN Xtratime service.

    What Is MTN Xtra Time?

    The MTN Xtra time service is a service by MTN Ghana which gives active MTN customers the chance to borrow airtime and data and payback later at a 10% rate.

    With the Xtratime service, you are given a limit based on how much airtime you buy and how much calls you make.

    So, this service is tailor-made to fit every user’s pocket.

    How To Subscribe For The MTN Xtratime

    1. Dial *506#

    2. Select your preferred amount (If you qualify, you should see a list of amounts)

    3. You can press 4 for more options

    4. To get data, you can select the “request a data advance” option

    5. Select your preferred data bundle

    6. Press 1 to confirm

    You should receive your data or airtime afterwards.

    Who Is Eligible For MTN Xtratime

    Just as any other credit facility in the world, one needs to satisfy certain laid down conditions in order to be able to borrow airtime from MTN Ghana.

    1. The sim card must be a prepaid card
    2. Your main account balance shouldn’t be more than 4 cedis at the time of the request.
    3. Your sim card must be properly registered
    4. You must have recharged your line at least every month in the past 6 months.
    5. You must have a certain volume of average airtime usage in a month.

    If you satisfy all the above conditions, then you are qualified for the MTN Xtratime service.

    Meanwhile, it is important for you to know that MTN reserves the right to indicate if you are qualified or not.

    Conclusion

    If you are a regular airtime user, you could get an advance of up to 10 Ghana cedía worth of airtime from MTN.

    Also, if you use data often, you can get 300MB and above data advance from MTN Ghana, using this service.

    All you need to do is to make sure that you satisfy all the conditions above.

    Finally, provided you took an airtime advance which isn’t up to your given limit, you can take another advance until you reach your limit.

    So, if your limit is 5 cedis and you took 2 cedis, you can go back for another 2 cedis without first paying for the initial 2 cedis. Same way, you can request for data advance in place of the second 2 cedis airtime.

    But once you reach your limit, you can’t get the data advance either.

  • How To Subscribe For The MTN 141 Service For Cheap Data

    Everything is digital now. The whole world is virtually becoming a digital world with the internet becoming more popular than it has ever been at any point.

    As such, the demand for internet data packages have reached an all-time high.

    In a country such as Ghana where data is considered to be unnecessarily expensive, one thing we all hope for is some “free data” or cool data promotion.

    Why MTN Ghana 141 Service Is Your Solution

    Well, if you’re a student who uses the internet so much for your research works, or a business person who relies on the Internet to make money, or that young person who loves to stream videos, you know exactly what I’m saying here.

    And oh, if you’re someone who finds pleasure in liking the latest gist on social media and commenting on photos, you are definitely part of this.

    Chances are that you have probably contacted those guys in WhatsApp groups saying they sell data at a cheaper price and you are supposed to pay so they send you the data.

    It’s very sad but I’m sure some of them have even duped (chopped) you before.

    Well, MTN Ghana has some good news for you.

    With the MTN Just4U data package, you get to enjoy cool data packages designed for you alone, based on your data use throughout the week.

    How To Activate MTN 141 Service

    To register for the MTN 141 Service, follow the steps below:

    1. Dial *141# on your phone from your MTN Ghana Simcard
    2. Depending on your usage of the sim card, you may get up to 5 packages to choose from.
    3. Select your package
    4. Select 1 to confirm your choice
    5. Press okay to accept the data.

    Conclusion

    This is one of the best data packages you can subscribe to as an MTN Ghana subscriber. Even though most of the data packages here last from between 3 days to one week, the volume is usually huge and good for heavy data users.

    Personally, I go for the 2.5GB for 12 Cedis Package which helps me in my research works.

    Also, do remember that this data package is not transferable. And you can only buy on the sim card you use to subscribe. You cannot buy a different number using this service.

    The service is made to suit every sim card as per the usage metrics.

    I hope this data pack works for you and saves you from the hands of those unscrupulous “data boys”. Kindly share other affordable data packages you know of in the comment box beneath the post.

  • 3 Ways You Could Get Scammed On Tonaton

    3 Ways You Could Get Scammed On Tonaton

    The idea for buying from Tonaton or any other digital platform is for convenience, cost-effectiveness and timeliness sake.

    Unfortunately, some people take advantage of these digital marketplaces to defraud other people of their hard-earned money.

    In this article, we take you through three of such ways through which you could be defrauded on Tonaton.

    1. Payment Before Delivery

    Buying and selling move together. Once there is no buying, there is no selling.

    So, while you prepare to buy your next product on Tonaton, make sure only to pay for products you have purchased and have in hand.

    Scammers on Tonaton put up ads for products they’re supposedly selling. As a buyer, when you contact them, they’ll convince you about the quality of the product and encourage you to buy.

    When you reach an agreement on the price, they’ll then ask you to send the money so they could send the products to you via the preferred means of delivery.

    For those who select bus as their means of delivery, these scammers can go to the extent of going to the station with a friend who acts as a driver and speaks to convince you that your product has been received and should be sent to you.

    They’ll then request of you to send the money for the product through mobile money.

    While there are genuine people willing to send products by this means, chances are that you’re dealing with a criminal in such situations.

    2. Delivery Fee Charged Upfront

    Apart from Fedex, EMS and Ghana post, the other means of delivery take delivery fee from receivers and not senders.

    As such, when purchasing from Tonaton, which primarily uses buses as the means of delivery, the seller doesn’t have to make payments for delivery.

    The buyer is entitled to make payment upon receiving the package and confirming its accuracy.

    In view of this, any seller who wants you to pay delivery fee even before your products are dispatched to you is likely to be a criminal.

    For most scammers, they’d inform you that the VIP bus or any other bus service wants you to pay a certain amount for delivery and they do not have any amount on them so you should pay the fee through mobile money.

    They’ll then try enticing you by telling you to deduct the delivery fee from the actual price when you finally receive the item.

    For those interested in cars, you’re likely to hear two options when it comes to delivery of your cars.

    You’ll be informed to either pay for the car to be rolled from its present destination to you or you send money for fuel so that car is driven to you.

    Either of these options is fake and fraudulent. You’ll pay alright but never get to see your car.

    Note: Scammers believe in gathering small small than losing big. A scammer believes that getting 100 cedis from 100 people is better than getting one person to pay 10,000 cedis. So unless you do not value your “small monies”, you can avail yourself to such thieves.

    3. Fake Products Priced As Originals

    We all know that for every product on the market now, there is a fake version.

    Some of these scammers go all the way to get imitations of original products to sell online.

    They then price the products at the exact cost of the original.

    The unsuspecting buyer then goes in to buy the product, thinking he has bought the original product.

    To prevent this, it is proffered that first-time buyers of certain items (Electronic gadgets mostly) get people who have experience in dealing with such items to check the items before they pay.

    Conclusion: Though all the above points are ways through which one could be defrauded on Tonaton, it is not a perfect list of what happens. These are from experiences of others. You still hold the final decision when buying on digital stores. Again, this list does not apply to products sold directly by Tonaton (Products that have the BUy Now tag).

  • How To Avoid Being Scammed On Tonaton And Jiji

    How To Avoid Being Scammed On Tonaton And Jiji

    One of the major concerns for buyers on digital shops such as Tonaton and Jiji is how to differentiate fake accounts from real ones.

    Over the years, many people have fallen prey to fraudulent deals on Tonaton and Jiji. Thousands of hard Ghanaian cedis have been lost to such fraudulent acts.

    In view of this, it is important that we set ourselves free from such scavenging criminals who pitch their tents on the digital super markets.

    The purpose of this article is to outline some rules to observe so as to avert the painful situation of being scammed on Jiji, Tonaton and any other digital shops.

    If you’ve ever been scammed on any of those sites, you’ve learnt your lesson the hard way and this could help prevent future occurrences.

    To you who hasn’t been scammed yet, this is definitely a precautionary list you should keep close to your heart at all times.

    1. Do Not Look Out For Extremely Cheap Products

    Before you go searching something on Tonaton or Jiji, be sure to have a fair idea of the market price for such products.

    For instance, if you’re searching for a car, you should know the brand of car you want and the expected price of that car even before you go searching.

    So, while searching keep tabs on prices that are within the range of the market price.

    If your car is expected to cost you around 30,000 cedis, don’t go looking at ads pricing that same car at 8,000 cedis or 10,000 cedis. Chances are that you’re in for a time-wasting experience or you risk being scammed.

     

    2. Do not search for products in locations really far from you

    Luckily for all of us, such digital marketplaces provide room for you to choose the exact destination where you wish to buy your items from.

    As a precautionary measure, it is necessary for you to only search for products in places closer to your present location.

    In case you wish to search for products at a place far from you, be sure to have a trusted relative who lives around that area.

    The rationale behind this, is for you to be able to ascertain through your relative, if the seller is an authentic person or not.

    When the location of the product is closer to you, you can go, meetup with the seller yourself at a public place to check out the goods and make payment physically.

    3. Do not pay money for transportation or fuel without receiving the product first

    Humans have become so smart and cunning that trust is a very expensive gift these days.

    With a huge chunk of the Ghanaian youth finding pleasure in scam, new ways of defrauding the unsuspecting individual keep coming.

    To avoid being scammed, it is important that you only pay for delivery or fuel you when you receive your items.

    Do not be deceived to send monies under the pretense that VIP buses or other delivery services wish to receive some money before your goods are delivered.

    Apart from people you already know and trust, no seller on these platforms should convince you to pay your delivery fee upfront.

    You stand the chance of being swindled if you fall for such tricks.

    4. Do not meet the seller at his home or private location

    Aside being scammed, one other thing we should be weary of is being robbed or murdered.

    As such, it is important that if you opt for a physical meeting with the seller, such meetings should be held at a public place.

    You could meet them at the nearest police station, shopping mall, Pub or bank or any other public space.

    If the seller has genuine intentions, he’ll avail himself to meet you at any public location close by.

    5. Do Not meet the seller at night

    Businesses thrive more during the day than at night. Also, the night comes with lots of unknown thoughts as darkness itself symbolizes evil.

    One of the worst things you can ever do is to allow yourself to meet a seller in the evening.

    Irrespective of where you are or what the circumstances are, make sure to meet the seller in an open environment during the day.

    This enables you to check the product thoroughly so as to prevent the situation of being given the wrong product.

    Conclusion: Your safety on the Internet is very important. Luckily, you have all the power to keep yourself protected from scammers. These five rules discussed here should help you purchase your goods and services on Jiji and Tonaton without so much fear of being defrauded.

    At the media connect event, Solomon Apenya, Principal Engineer, Andela Ghana said in his fireside chat session “In all my 12 years of being a software engineer, the experiences I have gathered over the last 3 years as an engineer at Andela are my most valuable and I have seen my skill grow tremendously. Andela isn’t just the home of the best engineers in Africa, our engineers are some of the best in the world.”

    Oluwasola Obagbemi, Andela’s Senior Communications Manager for Africa shared Andela’s compelling origin story and the company’s direction going forward. During her presentation, she stated that “Andela is home to some of the world’s best technology talent and engineers who join us will not only be doing meaningful work that enhances their careers and gives them access to amazing global opportunities, they’ll also be tapping into a community of great engineers who they can learn from, on their journey to becoming world-class” 

    Andela announced the launch of its “Grow with Andela” campaign in November 2019 and hosted a Remote Heroes event across Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. On the 8th of February, Andela hosted its Remote Heroes event which was attended by key stakeholders and leading technologists in Ghana such as Edem Kumodzi, CTO at Africa Foresight Group, Ivy Barley, CEO of Developers in Vogue, Williams Adu, Principal Engineer at Andela and Stefan Froelich, Principal Engineer at Andela who all shared insights on “Toolkit & Essentials for Engineers on Becoming World Class” at a panel session.

  • How To Cancel An Order On Jumia Ghana

    How To Cancel An Order On Jumia Ghana

    Have you ever hit the buy now button on your Jumia app, only to realise that you may not need that item anymore or you may not be able to afford it anymore?

    Have you asked yourself this question: How do I cancel an order from Jumia Ghana?

    Well, if you answered positively, then this article is definitely a must-see and must-read for you. Sit down quietly and enjoy this painless session with me.

    So, we shall look at three possible ways of cancelling an order on Jumia Ghana.

    1. Filling Out The Jumia Order Cancelling Form

    To use this option in cancelling an order, you need to login to your Jumia Ghana account either on the app or via your browser.

    Go to your orders.

    Select the order you wish to cancel

    Navigate to “cancel order”

    Fill in the dialogue boxes provided and state a tangible reason for the cancellation.

    Submit your order cancellation form.

    Patiently wait for feedback from the ever-working support team.

    2. Call Customercare To Process Cancelation

    The second option here is for you to give a call to the Jumia Customer care line, telling them why you wish to cancel your order.

    Usually, getting in touch with Jumia Ghana via phone calls have become a bit tedious because of the large number of orders and their corresponding calls that they receive daily.

    But for something as important as order cancellation, it’s still worth the try.

    You may call Jumia Ghana’s customercare Via 0302740630.

    ◦ Call the number listed above

    ◦ Follow the prompts to be connected to an agent.

    ◦ Provide the agent with the order number, amount paid, transaction ID, ID cards for verification and date and time of order.

    •

    • If the item hasn’t left their warehouses, cancelation will be easy and fast

    • If it is already on the way, the Agent will notify you of necessary action depending on whether the package will attract shipping fees or not.

    3. Messaging them on Facebook or sending an email

    It’s a social media age and we can’t disintegrate social media from a digital commerce brand like Jumia. As such, one of the ways one could cancel an order on Jumia is by chatting them up on Facebook or sending an email to their customer service.

    All emails to Jumia Ghana should be sent via [email protected].

    1. Write an email to the mail given above.

    2. Indicate your order number, your refund method, your transaction ID, your phone number, your invoice number and date and time of order in your mail.

    3. Wait patiently for feedback from Customer service.

    Note: As much as jumia may try to respond to your mail on time, remember that as many people as possible may have sent mails to them. Therefore, yours may either go down the list and get attended to later or you may be lucky to receive an instant response. Hopefully, you get your issue resolved and your order cancelled.

    Not that it may take up to a week or more for order to be cancelled and refunds made. The actual time frame will be communicated to you by customer care.
