How do you utilize it?
To initiate money transfers, it’s essential for the recipient to also agree to the eKash terms and conditions. They can do so by following the method we’ve demonstrated above.
Step 1: And then, to access the service, dial *182*1*2# on your mobile phone using any network you’re using.
Step 2: After entering the provided digits, you’ll be directed to a section where you’ll need to input the recipient’s telephone number, referred to as the eKash ID. In some cases, it might be labeled as the Receiver number or Account number. Regardless of the terminology, they will request your phone number during this step.
Step 3: In the following field, input the desired amount of money you intend to send. As a standard precaution, verify that the names correspond to the intended recipient and ensure the entered monetary amount is accurate. If everything aligns, proceed to confirm by entering the PIN.
It’s important to highlight that the cost of sending money remains consistent. Whether you’re sending money from MTN to MTN or from MTN to Airtel, the charges remain the same. This approach is designed to bolster cash flow and mitigate the challenges we initially discussed about money transfers. And that is it, we can now send money to anyone despite the line they use.
