Simply put, what VTpass does is that it keeps a catalog of different services and products from merchants, so that you as the end-user can purchase those products and services easily with a few clicks and on one platform.

With more and more businesses now operating online, and with fraudsters and scammers growing more sophisticated. You as the end-user should be skeptical of entering your ATM card information online. To this end, a service like VTpass allows you to make payments online securely. Be it buying airtime for your phone, to paying for cable TV subscription, to buying electricity units and more, you can do all these conveniently online without having to worry about entering your card information on a scam website.

Why are VTpass Services Necessary?

Nigeria, just like the rest of the world is increasingly going cashless. This means more and more payments online, in fact, most merchants no longer accept physical cash. Most merchants are reducing their physical locations to cut costs and you will need a payment processor service to make payments to them.

Convinience

The most practical use of an online payment processor is its convenience. It might be hard to imagine today, but less than 20 years ago students used to line up for hours at Jamb offices nationwide just to purchase a Jamb form. Today, the same Jamb form can easily be bought online with just a convenience fee of about N100. Customers increasingly want comfort, merchants also want to cut their operating costs by moving payments online and VTpass is the bridge that connects both wants.

Speed up the process

Paying for products and services online is just a whole lot faster. You can buy electricity units with just a few clicks online without having to show up at the Nepa office.

Partner program

Besides using VTpass as an end-user to make payments, you can also become an agent of the company – to offer payment services to less technology-inclined members of your immediate community. You can help others make their payments and earn a commission for each transaction you process.

Bloggers can also partner with them to integrate the VTpass payment API on their websites, to get a commission on each payment processed.

Payment gateway vs payment processor: which is VTpass?

To fully understand what VTpass is, it is important to understand what it isn’t.

Although the terms payment gateway and payment processor are sometimes used interchangeably, they actually refer to different parts of the payments process. 

In an online transaction, the payment gateway is what authenticates the customer’s payment, whereas the payment processor is the mechanism that communicates the transaction between the customer’s bank and the merchant.

This distinction is important because, in a physical transaction, only the payment processor is needed. In a virtual transaction, however, an extra layer of authentication is necessary. 

VTpass is a payment processor, other examples of payment processors in Nigeria include, Quickteller, PayArena, Felts, Jumia Pay amongst others.

Examples of Nigerian payment gateways include Paystack, Flutterwave, Interswitch, Stripe amongst others.

Pros of VTpass

• Provides a convenient and quick payment portal
• Cheap and reasonable service charge of about N100 or less for each payment.
• Partner program that allows you to make money as a VTpass agent or to integrate their payment API on your website and earn a commission on each payment received.

Cons of VTpass

• For some reasons they are running Google AdSense adverts on their website which makes the website a bit unprofessional. This is besides all the annoying popup messages that clutters their website.
• Poor customer service: For such an instant payment service, having a responsive customer service line is imperative but customers can wait for days on VTpass without having their payments validated.

Is VTpass safe?

VTpass is a safe and legit payment processor that charges a small service fee to help process your payment to different merchants. In case of dispute, reach out to the customer service contact number by dialing 08138752358 or by sending a mail to support@vtpass.com for a swift resolution.

VTpass Frequently Asked Questions

The post VTpass Review 2022: Online Payment Service Provider in Nigeria appeared first on AFRICA EXPLAINED.

“2G brought us SMS and picture messaging,” MTN CFO Modupe Kadiri said in a post. “3G was about mobile internet access. 4G made streaming and sharing a part of everyday life. 5G delivers the future and it’s here – higher internet speeds, downloads without delay, near-instant connection when streaming, using apps, loading websites, playing games, or connecting to smart home devices.

“So today we started another phase in our journey to Brighten the lives of our esteemed subscribers. Yes, today we turned on the 5G spectrum and kicked off our 5G pilot. 20,000 customers with enabled devices can now try out our next-generation network where coverage is available. So seeing 5G on your phone? It means you’re part of the pilot. Welcome to the wonder of 5G!”

So, what exactly is this 5G internet connection and how will it work in Nigeria? Here are some facts about MTN 5G, how to get it and how much it costs;

What is MTN 5G internet connection?

5G simply stands for the 5th generation of internet connection with regards to speed. When MTN first rolled out its services in the early 2000s, it only offered 2G that enabled users to open web pages and send pictures using MMS. The mid 2000s saw the arrival of more sophisticated gadgets like the Blackberry and other smartphones that allowed video streaming and video calls powered by faster 3G connection. 4G enhanced the streaming and video call experience by providing a much faster internet connection. Now, MTN promises that its 5G internet will be 10times faster than the connection on its 4G, further enhancing the streaming and video call experience.

Who need MTN 5G internet in Nigeria?

If all you use the internet for is to stream videos on social media and make video calls, then the existing 4G should be enough for you. 5G is more suited to data-intensive activities like Artificial Intelligence AI – self-driving cars, drone operators, online gamers and remote workers. Because of the super-fast connection, 5G will consume more data compared to 4G, MTN already recommends 100GB of data on activation.

How do I get the MTN 5G?

Existing MTN customers who have 5G enabled phones will have access to this internet speed when they are in a location where it is available. MTN also sells special 5G routers which can be pre-ordered for #50,000 on their website. Be sure to check coverage areas to see if 5G is available in your location as the service is not yet available nationwide. The device comes with a free 100GB data bonus and up to 32 different devices can be connected to the router.

Do I need a new MTN 5G sim or to upgrade my sim card?

No, you don’t need a new sim card or to upgrade your existing sim. Once you are in an area under the 5G coverage, your phone or device will automatically connect to the MTN 5G network. The mobile rollout is happening is stages, Tecno, Xiomi, Samsung and other Android devices already have access in areas under coverage. Apple devices will soon follow. Other MTN customers who do not have 5G enabled devices can simply purchase the special MTN 5G router to get the same advantages.

Are there unlimited MTN 5G data plans?

No, MTN does not have unlimited data plans for those using 5G. The company however promises to roll out special 5G plans and bonuses in the future. Customers will have to rely on existing data plans and set limits based on their lifestyles. Because 5G is super-fast, customers can expect their devices to consume more data than they used to when using 4G.

5G is the future of the internet that provides superfast connections at speeds more than 10 times that of 4G. We won’t recommend 5G for everyday streaming due to costs, but for those working in AI, online gaming, remote workers, 5G is the future.

Brand new iPhones are expensive, most have a starting price of around $1000 and are not even readily available in some parts of the world. Fairly used and refurbished ones are cheaper and readily available since for some reason most people prefer iPhones over other phone brands.

So before parting with your money and making a deal, here are 6 things you should look out for and test before buying fairly used/refurbished iPhones.

1. Battery health

If you are trying to buy an iPhone 10 or 11 and you see 100% battery health, that is a massive red flag. Think about it, if a phone has been in use for at least a year or two you shouldn’t expect the battery health to still be at 100%. A battery health lower than 88% can also be problematic as such a phone might drain quickly. A good fairly used iPhone worth buying should have battery health between 90-95% health.

2. Activate the SIM card

If the phone is not activated, you should want to activate it immediately. This does two things for you; you get to check if it is iCloud locked, if it is, it is most likely a stolen phone at which point you should end the deal to avoid troubles down the line. Also by putting a sim card in it you get to check if it will work with your local network, that way you don’t face problems every time you take your sim card out.

3. Test the speakers

The next thing you want to check is the call and speaker quality. At this point call a friend with the iPhone, have a conversation and test the earpiece as well if it comes with one. Test the mouthpiece, switch to speakers and continue the conversation just to make sure you can hear each other. If you can, something might be wrong with the earpiece or mouthpiece of that iPhone.

4. Check Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity

Next, you want to check the Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity. How do you check that on iPhones? Use airdrop. Take a photo with the phone and try to airdrop it to another iPhone close by, if that doesn’t work, then there’s something wrong with it. Also, you want to make sure other iPhones can airdrop something to you just to make sure your Wifi and Bluetooth are completely functional.

5. Check Face ID/Touch ID

Face/Touch ID is one of the most common problems on most iPhones. It’s best to avoid any phone that has these problems cos they might be stolen or some of the components might have been replaced one too many times. If however you still desire the phone and can use it without these functionalities, the price you are paying should be drastically lower compared to if they are functional.

6. Check camera and touchscreen

The last thing to be tested on this list is the touchscreen and camera. You can test the touchscreen by simply swiping up and down the menu to see if there is any part of the screen with dead pixels. The last test is to take multiple pictures with the cameras, if your iPhone has 3 cameras, you want to test all three cameras by taking photos and recording a video with them, also don’t forget to test the selfie camera as well. After recording the video, go to the gallery to see what you have recorded and check the quality of sound too.

iPhones are very popular these days, and because they are expensive most people end up buying fairly used ones or refurbished ones. Before you buy a secondhand iPhone, it is important to know how to properly test it to avoid buying a dud or a stolen phone.

Online loan companies have especially perfected a loan recovery strategy – to disturb their borrowers with persistent calls until they are shamed or annoyed into repaying their loans.

To be sure, these loan companies run a business and maximum effort should be made to ensure that whatever money is borrowed from them is repaid as at when due. But sometimes life happens, and borrowers are unable to repay their loans.

Some of these loan apps have proven to be unreasonable when borrowers are unable to repay that they resort to calling them daily and some even resort to threat to recover their loans.

Under such circumstances, borrowers need a tool to screen and block spam calls before they even enter their phones. This is where the Truecaller app comes in.

The Truecaller app is a smartphone application that can be used to identify callers and block spam calls among other uses. It is especially useful if you have been receiving persistent calls and you want to block the spam calls automatically. When a blocked number calls you, the line simply cuts before it even rings on your own end.

The app already has a list of spam callers, so you don’t have to worry about manually blocking each spam call. Once you turn on the blocking feature, it automatically stops all calls from numbers on its spammer’s list.

How to use spam calls blocking feature on Truecaller

There are a variety of spam call blocking features you can use on the Truecaller app according to your needs.

• Download and install the Truecaller app on your phone from the Google play store for android devices on the app store for iOS.
• Tap on “Blocking” on the far bottom-right corner of your screen to reveal the options.
• turn on “Block top spammers” to automatically block all calls from numbers on the Truecaller spammer’s list.
• Turn on “Block hidden numbers” to block calls from any number that is shown as unknown or private.
• Turn on “Block numbers from foreign countries” so that only numbers from your country will be able to call you.
• You can also block calls that begin with a specific number series. For example most loan sharks in Nigeria call with numbers that include 888. But you wont really need this feature once you have blocked all calls from reported spammers.

Truecaller is a useful tool to use to block spam calls from loan sharks that operate unchecked in a country like Nigeria. All you have to do is download the app, and turn on the settings and you don’t have to be scared of picking up your calls whenever your phone rings.

This article will walk you through on how to verify your account with just your eleven digits NIN number for those who don’t have their international passport, permanent voters card or drivers license.

About Google verification

As part of its know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, Google will ask you to verify your address when you reach a earning threshold of $10 or its equivalent for Nigerian residents.

The process is simple, they will send you a verification card containing the PIN via the Nigerian postal service. You will have up to three chances to receive your code and verify your account over three months, after which your account might be permanently suspended and you loose the money in it.

Tips to get your Google AdSense PIN in Nigeria

Although alot of bloggers have complained that receiving the AdSense PIN code in Nigeria is difficult, it can be overwhelming, but it is easy if you know how it works:

1. Google uses the services of the Nigerian postal service, so expect your PIN to arrive at the post office nearest to you.
2. NIPOST will not actually deliver the PIN to your house. You will have to visit their office to ask in the weeks after Google must have sent it.
3. Include your phone number clearly written under the address field while making pin request from Google. NIPOST will call or text you to come over when it arrives.
4. It takes about two weeks from the date of request for the PIN to arrive Nigeria. You should start going to your local post office after two weeks so they don’t throw your PIN away.

How to verify your identity with NIN number for Google AdSense payments

For some accounts, verifying their address alone is not enough, they still have to verify their identity to receive payments.

When you receive the red alert to verify your identity, Google will give you three attempts to upload your documents after which your account might be suspended from serving ads and participating in any Google program including YouTube partner program.

In Nigeria, you can verify your account with any of the following documents:

1. National ID card (NIN)
2. International passport
3. Voters card
4. Drivers license.

Note: you will be required to upload a separate document that shows your address if your ID does not contain your address written on it.

If you have an international passport, permanent voters card or drivers license that contains your address written on it, you can just scan it front and back to verify your identity.

If you don’t have any of this documents, only your NIN number, here’s how to use it to verify your Google AdSense payments:

1. If you have the plastic ID card, simply scan and upload and jump to step 7 below.
2. Google doesn’t accept the NIN slip, don’t waste one of your three attempts uploading it.
3. Download and install the NIMc app on your phone.
4. Access your ID card with your NIN number.
5. The NIMC app doesn’t allow screenshot, you will need a second camera to snap and crop the image of your ID card.
6. You should snap the ID card full front and back, most of the important information that Google needs to verify your identity including expiry date, NIN number is in the back.
7. Upload the Clear and high resolution image to Google portal, also upload a separate document with your address on it. The easiest to get is your bank statement of account.
8. Go to your bank, request for your statement of account, ask them to attach a PDF copy to your email. Google doesn’t accept black and white images, only colored.
9. Make sure your names and addresses tally with what is on your Google publisher account. If it doesn’t you should edit before you upload your documents.

Note: if you’re using national ID, you will be required to upload three separate documents, front and back of your ID card plus bank statement all uploaded separately.

In conclusion

Verifying your Google AdSense account to receive payments can feel a bit overwhelming, considering you have only three attempts to try and if you fail after the third attempt, you might never be able to receive any payments from Google again. If you already have a voters card, international passport or drivers license all you have to do is scan and upload easily. But if the only document you have is the NIN number, you have follow the process highlighted above and also attach your bank statement of account.
