They allow easy, cost-effective and transparent integration with the world\u2019s largest mobile network operators, all at the same access point.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In turn, airtime aggregators provide millions of prepaid users with cheaper and more efficient options to communicate.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How this all happens may not be obvious because airtime aggregators perform the majority of their work behind the scenes.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, every day millions of mobile top-up transactions are completed in East Africa alone. (<\/span>In Africa overall, about 95% of mobile subscribers have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/api-mobile-money\/#How%20is%20mobile%20money%20enabling%20prepaid%20customers%20in%20Africa?\">prepaid service<\/a>, making it the largest non-contract telecom market in the world.)&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, many participants in this interaction are not aware of the important role that airtime aggregators play.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lack of awareness exists because, while there is plenty of online studies of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/api-mobile-money\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile money aggregators<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, there are still scant resources that explain aggregators&#8217; role in the airtime business.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, airtime aggregators do much more than integrate developers with otherwise hard-to-access networks of mobile operators. These platforms also provide a growing list of fintech use-cases through open APIs, such as making discounted <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/crypto-currency-airtime-usecase\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cryptocurrency payments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and opening mobile airtime e-wallet accounts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>In this way, airtime aggregators act as fintech hubs and telecom platforms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, offering innovative software features that easily integrate with hundreds of mobile operators across the globe. Developer studios and innovators looking to serve prepaid users in emerging markets have never had a better solution.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Reloadly, we have identified several reasons why the adoption of airtime aggregators is important for the international mobile top-up industry. Here is a quick review of what we\u2019ll be covering:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Integrate with leading mobile network operators&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Value-added airtime API toolbox<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime fintech hub<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">API customization expertise<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freedom from telecom exclusivity agreements<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reloadly is an airtime mobile top-up platform that acts as an airtime and data bundle API aggregator by providing developer-friendly solutions to improve the telecom experience.

They collect pre-negotiated commercial and technical agreements with multiple large MNOs. This then allows their clients to access a variety of mobile channels across vast geographies through just one portal.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For businesses offering mobile top-up services, aggregators reduce the complexity, cost and duration of sending airtime and data bundles.&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, an airtime aggregator typically integrates three types of actors:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The payer (who is sending the airtime or data bundle), such as a customer that wishes to send a mobile top-up to a family member in Nigeria.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The recipient&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The telecom provider&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that the airtime aggregator is typically invisible. Out of sight of the rest of the actors, it is the glue that holds the entire transaction together.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Reloadly, we facilitate this integration through direct agreements with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/barcelona-startup-reloadly-celebrates-new-partnerships-with-25-leading-mobile-operators\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">over 800 telecom operators<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 143 countries worldwide, including major MNOs, such as Orange, Movistar, Tigo and Airtel (which we recently signed on in February).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to direct access to global MNOs, airtime aggregators like Reloadly make it easier for developers to solve broader connectivity problems by exploring a variety of channels and use cases, which we will speak more of next.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Value-added_airtime_API_toolbox\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Value-added airtime API toolbox<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1079\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1079 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2968219434_d29199696f_o-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"airtime aggregator benefits\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.reloadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2968219434_d29199696f_o-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/blog.reloadly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/2968219434_d29199696f_o.jpg 486w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The magic behind mobile top-ups occurs through airtime aggregators<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime aggregators offer cloud-based solutions that enable customers to implement a wide range of use cases that require just a simple line of code.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>This user-friendly short code makes the delivery of diverse airtime services possible within hours, if not minutes. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without an airtime aggregator, the roll out of these services could be delayed by months of negotiations with individual telecom operators.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, advances in API technology allow for the adoption of new airtime features that improve the telecom experience.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These features are also completely customizable.

Through bespoke top-up solutions, developers can plan out new business cases around the airtime APIs without being held back by antiquated mobile operator systems.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, through individual APIs, such as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/products\/data-bundles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">data bundle API<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/products\/airtime\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">airtime API<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Reloadly enables developers to send bulk airtime, data gifts as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/incentive-marketing-telecom\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incentive marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rewards, and data bundle transfers through a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/mobile-app\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airtime_fintech_hub\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime fintech hub<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The wide range of use cases that airtime aggregators facilitate overlap with those provided by fintechs. Indeed, airtime aggregators increasingly act like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nextbillion.net\/where-aggregators-and-open-apis-fit-into-financial-inclusion\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fintech hubs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in their own right.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/how-airtime-is-used-as-money\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">airtime is used as currency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in many emerging markets, especially those in Latin America and Africa.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two key reasons for this is that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime accounts can be quickly and anonymously opened<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airtime values aren\u2019t pegged to volatile currency markets<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, in emerging markets that are prone to civil unrest and economic duress, using airtime as money makes a lot of sense.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This has instigated a lot of surprising use cases for airtime, including the development of airtime mobile wallets as a product for the storage of value.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many emerging markets, airtime and data bundles can be used to pay mom-and-pop retailers &#8212; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as well as chain stores. This interchangeability of airtime use has catapulted airtime beyond e-commerce and into the reality of brick-and-mortar retail.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>An airtime aggregator can now accept multiple currencies.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, this usually goes beyond the realm of standard currencies and into the world of crypto. Such has been the demand that Reloadly now allows crypto providers to accept worldwide mobile recharge payments using cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of which, Reloadly has also begun to offer a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reloadly.com\/blog\/crypto-currency-airtime-usecase\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6% to15% discount<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for payments of bulk airtime made with cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"API_customization_expertise\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">API customization expertise<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiring an airtime aggregator can open up avenues for bespoke solutions. The API developers that work at an aggregator are experts in the field. They also benefit from access to the company\u2019s expansive network of telecom operators.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An API sandbox is typically the host of co-developed projects. Through this portal, developers can offer technical feedback and collaborate on features.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research and development conducted in-house at an airtime aggregator can save time and money. Instead of transferring knowledge and investments to the toolshed of a specific mobile operator, the developer gets to have an intimate role in a co-developed project, which they can then onboard more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, conducting technological research without the help of API developers based at an airtime aggregator can be hard to put a price tag on. There are lots of unexpected charges for software customer support and troubleshooting that arise when developing new technology that many companies cannot easily foresee.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, more than 5,000 businesses use Reloadly\u2019s airtime API to easily top-up any phone across the globe.

A single telecom\u2019s branding strategy no longer needs to dictate a developer&#8217;s marketing strategy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This imposes fewer restraints when it comes to selling airtime and data bundles. In turn, your platform can develop marketing and cross-sell strategies that fit specific needs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Above all, this allows you to offer products that are tailored around the user experience, instead of products that are tailored around the telco.
