How to top up your Prepay mobile account

Topping up your Prepay account is super easy! The quickest way to top up is by using the 2degrees App. You can also top up online, buy a voucher and top up by text, top up by phone, set up an Auto Top Up, or even top up someone else’s account. The minimum top up is $10, and once you add funds to your Prepay credit, it lasts for a whole year—yep, that’s an entire 365 days from the purchase date!

How to top up with the 2degrees App

Here’s a quick list of steps for topping up using the 2degrees App:

  1. Download the 2degrees App available on the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Log in to your account.
  3. Tap the "Top Up" button.
  4. Choose your top-up method: Card, Online EFTPOS, or Voucher.
  5. Enter the number you want to top up. The app should automatically fill this in with your own prepaid number or let you pick from your contacts.
  6. Select the amount to top up (if using Card or Online EFTPOS).

Using Online EFTPOS to top-up a Prepay mobile

Online EFTPOS is a quick and free payment option that allows you to top-up your Prepay mobile straight from your bank account. It’s safe and secure and lets you use your Internet banking to make a one-off payment. There are no fees and you don’t have to register – simply follow the prompts.

If you’re with one of the following banks, you can use Online EFTPOS to top up your 2degrees prepay:

  • ASB
  • ANZ
  • BNZ
  • Westpac

Kiwibank, TSB or SBS banks are unable to support Online EFTPOS currently. Alternative payment channels noted above are available, and there’s no surcharge for using debit or credit cards to top-up a Prepay mobile account.

Online EFTPOS doesn't require you to enter bank logins or passwords.
