Let’s face it! You may not change the world today (what day is it?), but you’ve got that something that impacts your loved ones like there’s no tomorrow… Any idea? Come on, that gives you the rightful title of Giver, and you know it. And that’s exactly what we’re celebrating on November 10, on World Top Up Day. And you’re invited! We’ll go the extra mile this time because we turn 5 years since the 1st World Top Up Day in expat history: we drop the top up fees for you and part of your purchase goes to charity automatically with NO effort or money on your side. What do you think?

NO FEES. Autumn revolution, friends!

You may know that all services dealing in transfer of goods like MobileRecharge have the processing fee. It’s inevitable, because it covers all market costs. And by market costs we mean several international transactions that make your top ups fast.

So, we when we first launched World Top Up Day for YOU in 2015, we needed to show you support by dropping the fees. But the Day was ore than that. We wanted you, our fans and people behind top up invoices to become visible as a generous group that usually doesn’t make it front page.

Why we drop the processing fees

Payback time for you long-distance unconditional support for others! And because for more than 10 years we’ve been watching your gestures (reports, website, MobileRecharge app). Did you know how kind you are with your long-distance friends and family? OMG!

That’s why you deserve something back, besides the ongoing offers you get by email or social media giveaways. So, first your mobile recharges will go through without any top up fees. Go ahead and place as many orders you like on MobileRecharge.com or from MobileRecharge app on NOVEMBER 10, 2019 (23:59 EST). What you order is what you send. And if there are promos running, you’ll send a BONUS too. Plus you’ll contribute to Kiva social cases without any effort.

Besides the NO FEES autumn revolution, we’ll have something more for you. Did you ever think to help someone you didn’t know because you trusted his/her cause, but didn’t have the time, budget or chance to do it? We’ll do that for you!

Part of your purchase goes to Charity

This year, all recharges going through on November 10 will push a KINDNESS button.

Every transaction on MobileRecharge.com and MobileRecharge app on November 10, 2019 (23:59 EST) hits the charity button automatically. We’ll donate on your behalf to several less-privileged communities hosted by Kiva.

By the way, Kiva is…

An international nonprofit, founded in 2005, that manages crowdfunding loans for ambitious people in underserved communities who strive to make up a life by contributing to their society while being a provider. They don’t have financial support from the state or other entities, so Kiva comes in at that point.

Who does Kiva help?

Through Kiva’s activity, students can pay for tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment and families can afford needed emergency care. Kiva hosts eco-friendly businesses, and focuses on people working in agriculture, education, refugees, war-conflict areas, etc.

Noticed? YOUR impact is double!

Can you see it? Top ups you make for people back home may fall under the category “routine” for you, but we can objectively see how that helps a whole community indirectly, not just the person whose number you recharge. How? We tend to minimise our contribution to society. And last year that was the entire theme: how jobs mean having a social role and serving someone… You send credit for local use, right? People start using it and talk to each other using that credit… They start to solve issues, comfort themselves, ask for advice, share info. See the whole point now? Those talks lead to change on a personal level, but also a community level.
