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 160GB mobile plan – in this case, you would start your monthly cycle with 160GB of data. At the end of the month, you’ve only used 60GB 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 260GB of data (160GB for this month + 100GB of “banked” data that you didn’t use from last month).

All MATE mobile plans include a data bank of 1000GB.

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