Data is one of those costs that never goes away.
You buy a bundle, use it up, then buy another one. Week after week, month after month, at full price and every single time. ₦10,000 stays ₦10,000. ₦50,000 stays ₦50,000. The price never moves in your favour, no matter how often you buy.
That changes today.
Cleva now lets you buy data directly in the app, across MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9Mobile, and every purchase automatically comes with 3% off.
How much can you actually save?
The 3% discount might sound small at first. But data isn’t a one-time purchase. You are buying it constantly, for yourself, sometimes for family, sometimes for a team. Those savings add up faster than you might expect.
Here is what 3% looks like in naira:
- ₦10,000 bundle → you save ₦300
- ₦50,000 bundle → you save ₦1,500
- ₦300,000 bundle → you save ₦9,000
Nothing changes about the data itself. You get the same network, the same speed, the same bundle size. You are simply not paying full price anymore. Every time you recharge, you keep a little more of your money.
Over the course of a month, or a year, that is real naira back in your pocket.
Which networks can you buy data For?
Cleva supports all four major Nigerian networks:
- MTN
- Airtel
- Glo
- 9Mobile
Whether you run on one network or manage multiple lines across different carriers, you can handle all of it inside Cleva without jumping between apps.
How to buy data on Cleva
It takes seconds. Here is how it works:
- Open your Cleva app
- Go to Quick actions and select “Data”
3. Enter your phone number, choose the network and select the bundle you want to buy.
4. Pay using your USD account, Naira wallet, or Cleva Points, depending on your available balance.
5. Review the details
Double-check the phone number, network, selected bundle, and payment source to make sure everything is correct. You’ll also see that your discount applies automatically.
6. Tap Continue and complete your payment
Confirm the transaction and complete your purchase.
Why this matters
Before now, buying data meant leaving your main finance app, opening a separate recharge platform, entering card details or transferring funds, and then heading back. It was a minor inconvenience, until you were doing it repeatedly.
Cleva brings that workflow entirely in-house. Your money is already in the app. Your networks are already there. You pick a plan and you are done.
This is especially useful if you already use Cleva to manage your USD earnings, receive transfers, or convert between currencies. Data top-up is now one more thing you can handle without leaving the app.
Who benefits most from this feature?
If you buy data regularly, which, honestly, is most people, this feature is for you.
But it is particularly valuable if you:
- Buy large bundles — the 3% discount becomes more meaningful at higher top-up amounts
- Manage multiple lines — for family members or a small team across different networks
- Already use Cleva for your finances — now your data spend lives in the same place as everything else
- Want to spend from your USD balance — Cleva handles the conversion, so you can use your dollar wallet for everyday Nigerian expenses without any hassle
The smarter way to buy data
There is no good reason to keep paying full price for data when a better option is right inside your Cleva app.
Every bundle you buy through Cleva saves you 3% automatically — across MTN, Airtel, Glo, and 9Mobile. The data is the same. The process is faster. And you walk away spending less every single time.
Open your Cleva app, head to the data section, pick your plan, and enjoy the discount. It is that simple.
