Vitel Wireless has announced a partnership with fintech companies OPay and Moniepoint to enable millions of Nigerians purchase airtime and data directly through their digital wallets and banking platforms.

The collaboration gives users of both fintech platforms direct access to Vitel Wireless telecom services for easier airtime top-ups and data bundle purchases.

According to the company, the partnership is aimed at improving access to mobile connectivity across Nigeria, especially in rural and underserved communities where telecom distribution channels remain limited.

The integration allows OPay and Moniepoint users to buy airtime and subscribe to data plans directly from their existing wallets without needing extra platforms or agents.
