BillSell data from your own SIMs. Pay every bill from one wallet.
Connect your MTN, Airtel and Glo lines to BillVora and we send data from them for a fee from ₦2 a bundle. The same wallet pays for airtime, electricity tokens, cable TV, exam PINs and recharge cards, from the dashboard or through our API.
You fund the wallet by bank transfer to your own account number. If a purchase fails, the money goes straight back.

SIM hosting: the data comes from your lines
Data you sell on BillVora is sent from SIMs and accounts you connect, and paid from those lines' own balances. We do the sending, and charge a small fee per bundle.
- Connect your linesAdd MTN SIMs for Data Share, and your MyMTN, MyAirtel or Glo accounts for gifting. Give each one a priority.
- Sell a planFrom the dashboard, or have your own website or app call the API.
- We send it from the right SIMThe highest-priority SIM that is still within its daily and monthly limits sends it. If a gifting SIM keeps failing, failover moves to the next one you chose.

Questions
Do I need my own SIM to sell data?
Yes. Every data plan is sent from a SIM or network account you connect: MTN SIMs for Data Share, and MyMTN, MyAirtel or Glo accounts for gifting. Airtime, electricity, cable TV, exam PINs, recharge cards, Smile, Alpha and Kirani don't need a SIM. They're paid straight from your wallet.
What happens if a purchase fails?
Your wallet is refunded automatically, and the transaction is marked failed in your history with the reason the network or provider gave. For failed data purchases there's a button to try the same plan again.
How do I add money to my wallet?
Verify your BVN or NIN from the dashboard to get a dedicated account number, then transfer to it from any Nigerian bank. The wallet is credited when the bank confirms the transfer.
Which electricity companies can I pay?
Aba, Abuja, Benin, Eko, Enugu, Ibadan, Ikeja, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Port Harcourt, Yola. Prepaid and postpaid meters are both supported.
Can I connect BillVora to my own website or app?
Yes. Create an account, generate an API key under Developer → API Keys, and follow the API Docs in your dashboard. Webhooks tell your system the moment a purchase completes or your wallet is funded.
What does SIM hosting cost?
A fee per bundle sent, from ₦2 depending on the plan type (see the table above). The data itself comes from your SIM's balance.
Open an account and connect your first SIM.
