Recharge Card Printing — Print Airtime E-PINs
Print airtime recharge e-pins for every network in bulk at wholesale rates, and run your own recharge-card printing business.
How Recharge Card Printing Works
The concept is straightforward. You purchase airtime e-pins in bulk from Bigisub at wholesale prices, then print those pins onto physical cards or vouchers that you distribute and sell. Each pin is a unique code that the end user scratches off and dials to load airtime on their phone. The difference between what you pay on Bigisub and what you charge your customers is your profit.
Bigisub generates the e-pins instantly and delivers them to your dashboard. From there, you download the pins, format them for your card template and print. There is no waiting period and no minimum order. You can print 10 cards or 10,000 cards depending on your demand. The entire workflow, from purchase to printed card, can be completed in minutes.
Networks and Denominations
Bigisub supports e-pin generation for all four major Nigerian mobile networks. You can print airtime cards for MTN, Glo, Airtel and 9mobile. The standard denominations available are N100, N200, N500 and N1,000. These cover the most popular recharge values that customers buy on a daily basis.
You can mix and match networks and denominations in a single order. For example, you might print 50 MTN N200 cards, 30 Glo N100 cards and 20 Airtel N500 cards all at once. This flexibility means you can stock the exact mix your market demands without waste or overspending on denominations that move slowly.
Wholesale Pricing
The key to a profitable recharge card business is buying at the right price. Bigisub offers e-pins at wholesale rates that are consistently lower than what you would pay at retail outlets or from network offices directly. The more volume you purchase, the better your overall margin becomes.
You can check current wholesale pricing on the pricing page. Rates are updated regularly to reflect the best available deals. Over 2 million+ Nigerians use Bigisub for their telecom needs, and that volume allows us to negotiate rates that individual sellers cannot access on their own.
Start Your Printing Business
Getting started requires very little upfront investment. You need a Bigisub account, a printer and card stock or voucher paper. Many successful sellers began with a basic home printer and grew from there. The business model is simple: buy low on Bigisub, print, and sell at retail to shops, kiosks and individuals in your area.
If you are already in the telecom reselling space, adding recharge card printing to your services is an easy way to diversify your income. You can also explore becoming a Bigisub agent to unlock additional benefits and even better rates for high-volume orders.
Combine recharge card printing with direct airtime top-ups to serve customers who prefer either physical cards or instant electronic recharge. Offering both options maximises your revenue and keeps your customers coming back.
