Guaranty Trust Bank Limited (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO PLC, has launched Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that provides customers with instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring that customers can stay connected when it matters most.
In today's always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. This means lost opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the same moment when money is tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, giving customers instant access to airtime on credit direct from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from N100 to N10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available on all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.
For years the airtime credit market has been dominated by telecom companies, where the fee for this service is 15 percent. GTBank is now changing the story by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital option at a price of 2.95 per cent. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loans have the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians and redefine how financial services are delivered not just in banking moments, but in everyday life.

Importantly, Quick Airtime Loans highlights GTCO's evolution as a fully diversified financial services group. Leveraging HabariPay's Squad, the solution strengthens the group's ecosystem proposition by bringing together banking, payments technology and digital channels to provide a seamless, one-stop experience for customers.
With this new product launch, Guaranty Trust Bank is expanding its legacy of pioneering digital-first solutions that have redefined customer access to financial services across the industry, building on the proven strength of its widely adopted QuickCredit offering and the convenience of the Bank's iconic *737# USSD banking platform.
