In my recent publication, I explained the steps on how to purchase airtime from GTbank Internet Banking. During the process, I get to a point where I mentioned that some numbers need to be generated from a token to perfect the transaction. Today, I want to share the process, benefits, features and how you can acquire GTBank token for your internet banking transactions.
