Did you know that you can now send money directly from M-Pesa to an Airtel Money wallet without the need for a withdrawal code?
Thanks to mobile money interoperability, transferring funds between Kenya’s leading mobile money platforms has become faster, easier, and more affordable.
A Game-Changer for Mobile Money Transfers
Previously, sending money from M-Pesa to Airtel Money was a complicated process. The recipient had seven days to withdraw the funds using a code from an M-Pesa agent, which was often inconvenient and costly for both parties.
Additionally, sending money outside the Safaricom network incurred higher transaction fees, making it an expensive option.
However, with mobile money interoperability, this has changed. Now, M-Pesa users can transfer money directly to Airtel Money in real-time, just like they would to another M-Pesa number.
This development brings greater convenience, affordability, and flexibility for mobile money users across Kenya.
Why Mobile Money Interoperability Matters
Despite the improved transfer system, many Kenyans have yet to take full advantage of mobile money interoperability. Airtel Money remains committed to providing affordable and accessible financial services, ensuring that users enjoy seamless transactions across all networks.
To maximize the benefits, ensure your Airtel Money wallet is loaded and take advantage of the most cost-effective and convenient mobile money services.
