What is Glo Borrow Me Credit Service?

Glo Borrow Me Credit is a service that allows you to request airtime when you have run out of airtime. You are expected to pay back on your next recharge within a specified period.

How to Borrow Credit from Glo

Glo Nigeria has provided various platforms through which customers can borrow airtime and pay later. You can borrow Glo airtime through the following means:

• Via USSD Code
• Via Glo internet platform
• Using Glo Nigeria App

While Glo Borrow Me Credit is meant for all Glo subscribers, there are some conditions that the network provider has mapped out for its intending users. Hence, in order to be eligible to borrow airtime from Glo, you must abide by the following rules;

• Be an active Glo Subscriber
• Own a sim card if at least 4 months old
• Recharged your Glo line two or more times.

Code to Borrow Airtime from Glo

*321# is the Glo USSD code that customers can use to borrow airtime any time anywhere. No Internet access is required to use this code and all its services. The best part is that it works on all device types. All you need to do is to dial the *321# code and you have it.

If you are still confused about what to do? Use the following steps

• Dial *321# from your mobile phone
• Select the amount of airtime you want to borrow
• Press send to confirm your selection

Note: The amount of Glo airtime you are eligible to borrow is dependent on how you recharge your sim card. This means that you are eligible to borrow up to the highest Glo amount you have recharged since you activated your line/sim/number.

If you dialed the *321# code and got a message informing you that you are not eligible to use the borrow me credit service, then it could be that you just joined the network recently thus not meeting the minimum age in-network requirement of 4 months. It could also mean that you have an unpaid loan that must first be settled before taking another.

You can also borrow a specific amount of airtime by dialing *321*amount#. For example, dial *321*100# to borrow 100.
