What is Data Banking? – Save Unused Mobile Data Each Month

All MATE mobile plans come with data banking so you can keep your unused data each month!

how does data banking work?

Let’s say you are on a 150GB mobile plan – in this case, you would start your monthly cycle with 150GB of data. At the end of the month, you’ve only used 50GB of your allocated data.

Instead of losing the remaining 100GB of mobile data, it will effectively get added to your “bank” when you need it.

You would now have a total of 250GB of data (150GB for this month + 100GB of “banked” data that you didn’t use from last month).

All mobile plans include a data bank of either 500GB or 1000GB, depending on the plan.

Any data in your data bank is forfeited if your mobile plan is downgraded to a lower-cost monthly plan, or if you move from a 5G-enabled plan to a 4G plan. Your banked data will remain if you upgrade to a higher-cost monthly plan, or switch from a 4G plan to a 5G plan.

To check any available data in your data bank, you can:

1. Download the myMATE app on your iPhone or Android device;
2. Log into the MATE self-care portal online;
3. Text ‘Bal‘ to 179
