First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has introduced a unique product, the FCMB Airtime Advance, to enable customers to borrow between N200 and N5,000 from their bank accounts to purchase airtime.
The Airtime Advance solution aims to provide relief to customers who are in urgent need of airtime to make phone calls, send text messages or engage in other essential communication.
Customers without FastCash loans can access the Airtime Advance based on eligibility by dialling FCMB’s USSD code of *329# or via the loan string *329*11#.
The loan has flexible repayment, and it is taken from funds in the customer’s account.
Customers can also purchase Airtime Advance for family, friends, and associates.
At the product launch in Lagos, Managing Director, FCMB, Mrs. Yemisi Edun, said the bank is “excited to take the lead as the first in the Nigerian banking industry to introduce an Airtime Advance product. We want to support as many people as we can. It gives a lot of joy to realise that we are helping individuals, households, and businesses across the nation meet critical needs.”
Mrs. Edun reiterated the bank’s commitment to delivering value-added digital banking solutions and superior customer experience.
