What people say about INDOSABEST VAS
Our bill payment service is the one that has been live the longest.
"What got me was WhatsApp support actually being a person. Sent a message about a stuck transaction, got a reply in maybe ten minutes, no ticket number, no 'your case is important to us.'"
Musa Cigari
Agent partner, Kano
"Honestly I signed up because a friend kept nagging me to try it. Now I'm the one telling people to stop using their bank app for airtime, it's slower for no reason."
Sulaiman Abdullahi
Business owner, Bauchi
"I resell data, so downtime literally costs me money. Not going to say it's never failed once, but when it did, it fixed itself before I even finished typing a complaint."
Bashir Abdulkarim
Data reseller, Azare
A Nigerian company, building for Nigerian problems.
We started with everyday payments and are growing into a set of platforms that help people work, earn, learn and connect.
