How to Fix a Failed Transaction
Airtime, data, electricity, or TV subscription didn't go through? Follow these steps to get your service or refund fast.
Quick Fix Steps
Check Your Wallet Balance
If a transaction fails, your wallet balance is usually refunded automatically within a few minutes. Refresh the page or check your Transactions page to confirm.
Retry the Transaction
Network glitches from MTN, Glo, Airtel, or 9Mobile can cause temporary failures. Wait 2–3 minutes and retry with the same phone number or meter number.
Verify the Phone or Meter Number
Double-check that you entered the correct phone number, meter number, or smartcard number. Wrong details are the #1 cause of failed airtime and data recharges.
Wait 5–10 Minutes
Some transactions appear as failed immediately but settle after a short delay. This is common during peak hours or when network providers run maintenance.
