To access Ghana’s mobile operator network, experienced developers prefer to work with a Ghana airtime top up API that must meet some vital prerequisites.
Their airtime API of choice has to:
- Integrate easily with just a few lines of code
- Access all airtime variables via one endpoint
- Come with extensive API documentation
- Be customizable and scalable
These requirements are the minimum. However, developers rarely get what they wish for.
Instead, developers at companies servicing top remittance corridors to Ghana — namely the UK, Germany, Canada and Italy — increasingly realize that today’s airtime top up API technology fails to deliver upon these prerequisites.
The result is an error-prone service experience that can cost lots of time and money to manage.
In 2017, Reloaldy’s founders noticed that the airtime API industry was not providing the kind of software that developers require in today’s evolving telecom technology landscape.
This led to the creation of Reloadly’s advanced airtime top up API software, which is supported by the world’s first developer platform for connecting to global telcos.
Reloadly’s airtime API was built with developers in mind, providing all of the requisites named above and more for transferring mobile top ups to Ghana’s entire mobile operator network using Ghanaian cedi values.
This includes access to Ghana mobile operators such as:
- MTN
- AirtelTigo
- Vodafone Ghana
- Glo
Our Ghana airtime top up API also allows access to several MVNOs, including Expresso and Surfline.
With AirtelTigo, in particular, Reloadly has acquired a direct telco partnership. This allows us to provide more direct benefits such as discounts and promotions to your customers.
For AirtelTigo Ghana, your customers can currently get a 4% discount.
For Vodafone Ghana, your customers can get a 4% discount.
For MTN Ghana, your customers can get a 1% discount.
Besides attractive discounts, short TTL software, extensive API documentation and overall better software experiences, Reloadly has also overturned the airtime API industry by introducing several new norms.
We’d like to detail those now for you below.
[Developers prefer our short TTL airtime API software for these 5 reasons. Read this article to find out exactly why.]
1. Use a Ghana airtime top up API with a no-contract account
It is common for API providers to require long-term lock-in periods to use their software.
Reloadly broke the mold by completely opening up access to our cloud-based airtime API software, documentation and sandbox.
We believe that this democratizes the advanced technology we have created for developers working at companies, both large and small.
Our free-to-use airtime API key requires only a simple registration, then off you and your team go.
2. Zero-fee mobile top up remittances
You can provide an inclusive, affordable and flexible money transfer solution to complement standard remittances through the use of an airtime API.
With Reloadly’s airtime API, these mobile top up remittances are zero fee to over 140 countries, including Ghana.
Thanks to the ubiquitous reach of global mobile networks, mobile top ups are increasingly favored as a way to transfer money to people across the world.
This is especially true in emerging markets such as Ghana, where mobile top ups are the most inclusive means to send remittances to people in remote villages.
3. Top-up values as low as $0.50
With Reloadly’s airtime API, your customers can transfer mobile top up values as low as $0.50 to mobile phones using any mobile operator in Ghana.
This low price point helps to encourage micropayments and small remittances that can be appealing to many people in Ghana.
The use of our airtime API also allows vast accessibility. The recipient of the credit doesn’t need to set up a password for airtime sharing via USSD; they don’t even need the internet.
4. Wallet for over 100 currencies
The Reloadly dashboard provides the ability to hold and exchange over 100 currencies, including the Ghanaian cedi.
Our dashboard allows for transparent FX rates, so that your team is never in the dark concerning actual market values.
Moreover, the Reloadly dashboard also allows you to manage wholesale discounts for all of Ghana’s mobile operators, including MTN, AirtelTigo, Vodafone Ghana and Glo.
Here, you can easily keep track of all your commissions, sales and transaction volumes on a personalized dashboard.
5. Top up transfer made within 5 seconds
Speed in top up transactions is crucial for many industries, but especially mobile rewards and incentives programs.
This also applies to NGO companies that need to keep engaging with their communities.
Reloadly’s airtime API enables top up transfer to be delivered to the recipient’s mobile phone within 5 seconds.
This speedy process ensures rapid gratification for mobile rewards recipients, as well as NGO communities and other customers.
6. Automated bulk top up transfers
Larger campaigns of mobile top up transfers can benefit greatly from automated bulk transfers.
Reloadly’s API dashboard allows you to set up this process.
Through our platform, you can set up and schedule one-time or recurring bulk transfers to mobile phones in Ghana.
We find many industries are in need of this service today. NGOs need to send bulk transfers to hard-to-reach communities. Mobile rewards companies need to deliver rapid incentives campaigns. This especially includes corporate rewards.

7. Access over 750 mobile operators in over 140 countries
Ghana is only one out of over 140 countries that you can access through the Reloadly airtime API platform.
We enable transfer to over 750 mobile operators. Of these connections, we have established over 120 direct telco partnerships, including one with AirtelTigo Ghana.
This network is always growing, and includes access to mobile operators in hard-to-reach places, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Myanmar and Venezuela.
