With one API, Reloadly allows developers and businesses to top-up local airtime across multiple countries and operators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This feature allows developers and businesses in their local countries to now use Reloadly\u2019s API. Reloadly is responding to what its customers was asking for. Connecting to local telcos in Africa is a nightmare, therefore Reloadly makes this easy for developers to quickly plug and play. Here\u2019s five key benefits of using local airtime top up APIs.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1Tax_Savings\"><\/span>1.Tax Savings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Reloadly airtime for local amounts represents a savings advantage to customers who previously sent top-ups using international providers. In many countries, by using a local provider you might be liable for taxes and or the provider might deduct local taxes from the airtime amounts delivered to the end-user. Reloadly is an international company, therefore we do not deduct taxes from your airtime recharges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if an end-user sends 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nigerian_naira\">Nigerian Naira<\/a> as a top-up and a 1% tax is assessed, the recipient will only receive 19.98 in mobile recharge<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, when end-users send top-ups using local amounts governments consider it a \u201cwithin-country\u201d transaction. This means that taxes are not usually assessed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2No_more_Foreign_Exchange_fees\"><\/span>2.No more Foreign Exchange fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In addition, local amounts allow developers or accounts in their local countries to top-up without the hassle of exchange rates. This allows end-users to choose local values and smaller increments of airtime, opening up the possibilities of micro-transactions. With <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reloadly.com\">Reloadly<\/a>, you can access local airtime values across many countries while using one single wallet in your preferred currency and with one API. This is a game-changer across Africa where 98% of the continent depends on prepaid phones.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Ability_to_sell_locally_in_your_countries\"><\/span>3. Ability to sell locally in your countries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Unlike international top ups, customers for local top ups expect to receive the exact amount in their local currencies when making an airtime top up. With Rel0adly\u2019s local values pipe, this is no more an issue as your customers will receive the exact local value in their local currency. Local airtime top-ups open possibilities for many new digital channels including banks, ATMs, apps, and websites to sell or to use as a reward mechanism in their local countries.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Access_local_amounts_covering_16_different_countries_in_Africa\"><\/span>4. Access local amounts covering 16 different countries in Africa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Reloadly gives you access to 16 different countries across Africa with one <a href=\"http:\/\/developers.reloadly.com\">API<\/a> for local top-ups and adding new ones every month. No more hassles to integrate multiple providers and manage different wallets in each country. We have removed all these complications with simple APIs, one wallet and access to multiple countries.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Direct_with_Mobile_Operators\"><\/span>5. Direct with Mobile Operators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Unlike many other providers, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reloadly.com\">Reloadly<\/a> focuses on establishing direct relationships with the major mobile operators in the region.
