Recharge2Cash: Exchange airtime for cash, how to use & more

Recharge2Cash is a Nigerian service that allows you to convert your airtime to cash. The money will be sent into your bank account. In this post, you will learn how to use Recharge2Cash to exchange airtime for cash, how to withdraw to your bank account, and lots more.

How does Recharge2Cash work?

The Recharge2Cash service works as an airtime converter, and it’s available only for Nigerians. 

A family member might send a large amount of airtime to you as a gift. And who knows, you might not need the airtime. Maybe what you need is money.

Also, sometimes, you might mistakenly buy more airtime than you want from your bank. The most common cause is the addition of an extra zero by mistake.

For instance, if you want to top-up airtime worth ₦1,000, you might mistakenly load ₦10,000 by adding an extra zero.

This is not a rare thing among Nigerians. It’s something that happens regularly. Although most victims probably won’t make the mistake again, other people can still make it.

That’s where Recharge2Cash comes into play. You can convert your excess airtime back to cash. All you need to do is create an account and follow the instructions. The money will be sent to your bank account.

Is it safe to use Recharge2Cash?

Many Nigerians have claimed to be defrauded by many airtime converters. Some converters will accept the airtime and send only half-payments, or even nothing at all.

But Recharge2Cash is not like that. Over 100,000 people in Nigeria have used the Recharge2Cash app, and nobody has ever complained of being cheated or scammed so far.

Requirements to open a Recharge2Cash account

To make use of Recharge2Cash, you have to meet some requirements. During the registration process, you will need to provide the following details.

• Your Bank Verification Number (BVN)
• Email address
• A valid phone number will be needed (It should be the phone number that contains the airtime you want to convert)
• Your full name and date of birth
• You will also need to provide your home address
• A means of National Identification

Kindly note that:

• Your BVN and identity details might not be requested during registration
