How to convert airtime to cash, step by step
Before you start you need a free ABS Vendor account verified to Level 2 (BVN) and your 4-digit ABS Vendor transaction PIN. Create your account.
Airtel and MTN airtime to cash
- Choose the network and amount. The rate and your exact payout are shown before you continue.
- Enter the number holding the airtime and your Airtime Share PIN. That is the Share & Sell PIN set on your SIM, not your ABS Vendor PIN. The network’s default PIN is rejected.
- Enter the OTP. We text a code to that number to confirm it is yours.
- Confirm with your ABS Vendor PIN. We collect the airtime automatically.
- Get paid. The cash is credited to your ABS Vendor wallet in under a minute. Spend it or withdraw it to any Nigerian bank.
Limits per conversion: Airtel ₦1,000 to ₦20,000, MTN ₦1,000 to ₦100,000. Enter your Share PIN carefully: repeated wrong attempts can get your SIM barred from Share & Sell by the network.
Glo airtime to cash
- Choose the network and amount, then enter the number you will send the airtime from.
- Send the airtime. We show you the number to send to and the code to dial from that line.
- Upload proof. Attach a screenshot of the successful transfer and tap “I have sent the airtime”.
- We verify it by hand. This usually takes 5 to 20 minutes, and then the cash is credited to your wallet.
Limits per conversion: Glo ₦1,000 to ₦5,000. Send from the same number you entered, because airtime from another number cannot be matched to your request.

What people ask first
How does airtime to cash work?
Airtel and MTN conversions are automatic: you enter the number holding the airtime and your Airtime Share (Share & Sell) PIN, type in the OTP we text to that number, and confirm with your ABS Vendor PIN. We collect the airtime for you and credit your wallet. Glo conversions are checked by our team: you send the airtime to the number we show you, upload a screenshot of the successful transfer, and we verify it by hand before paying you. Your cash is paid into your ABS Vendor wallet, and you can spend it or withdraw it to any Nigerian bank.
How long does payment take?
Airtel and MTN conversions are confirmed automatically and land in your wallet in under a minute. Glo transfers are verified by our team, which usually takes 5 to 20 minutes.
How fast is the withdrawal to my bank, and what does it cost?
Withdrawals to any Nigerian bank account settle in under 60 seconds. The withdrawal fee is ₦100.
What happens if a withdrawal fails?
The money goes straight back to your ABS Vendor wallet, and you can try again once withdrawals are working. Nothing is lost.

What do I need before I can convert airtime?
A free ABS Vendor account verified to Level 2 (BVN) and your 4-digit ABS Vendor transaction PIN.
