T2mobile unwraps Nigeria’s first eKYC SIM-registration web app

T2mobile, formerly known as 9mobile, has launched the country’s first electronic Know-Your-Customer (eKYC) SIM-registration web application.

This digital innovation promises to transform how Nigerians activate and manage SIM cards, bringing speed, inclusivity, and stronger regulatory compliance to a process that has long been criticised as tedious.

The new platform comes with a suite of features that directly address long-standing bottlenecks in SIM registration.

It allows for real-time photo and ID capture, instant verification of National Identification Numbers (NINs), geo-location checks, and immediate SIM activation.

It is flexible enough to serve individuals, corporate organisations, agents, foreign nationals, and retail partners—all from a simple, mobile-friendly web interface.

In a country where identity verification is often slowed by infrastructure gaps, unreliable networks, and paperwork, this app signals a turning point.

It offers Nigerians a taste of what it means to complete critical telecom processes in minutes rather than hours.

One of the strongest selling points of the T2mobile eKYC app is its accessibility.

Unlike many digital tools that struggle outside Nigeria’s urban centres, the platform was engineered to function smoothly even in areas with weak connectivity.

That makes it particularly significant for rural and semi-urban users, where SIM registration has often meant long queues at agent kiosks or repeat visits due to failed identity verifications.

By embedding compliance at its core, T2mobile is also aligning with Nigeria’s broader regulatory framework.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) have long insisted on strict SIM-NIN integration to improve national security and reduce fraud.

With this tool, T2mobile not only meets these requirements but also raises the bar for the entire industry.
