Airtime VTU Business: Complete Technical Guide

What is VTU?

Virtual Top-Up (VTU) is the digital distribution of airtime and data. You buy in bulk, sell to end users, and keep the margin.

How Africoders VTU Works

  1. Fund your wallet
  2. Call the vending API with network, phone number, and amount
  3. Airtime is delivered instantly
  4. Your cost is deducted from wallet

Profit Calculation

If you buy MTN airtime at 2% discount and sell at face value, your margin is 2%. On ₦1,000,000 monthly sales, that's ₦20,000 profit.
