Bharti Airtel Zap/Airtel Money, Mobile Banking Service
Airtel Money, formerly known as Zap, is embarking on an ambitious expansion of its mobile banking services, aiming to reach over 100 million people in East Africa. As the second largest mobile service provider in Kenya, Airtel Money is committed to delivering the most comprehensive and innovative mobile banking features available in the region. Following its initial success in Kenya, Airtel Money plans to expand its services to other countries in East Africa, capitalizing on the groundbreaking achievements of Mpesa and the growing interest in mobile banking among service providers. Other mobile banking options available in the country include Mpesa, yuCash, and Orange Money.
Airtel Money offers a wide range of services, including:
Airtel Money provides a secure and flexible platform for mobile money transfers, reducing the need to carry physical cash and ensuring safe transactions between individuals. Like other mobile banking service providers, Airtel Money requires the use of a password for each transaction, adding an extra layer of security to the process.
To access Airtel Money services, Airtel subscribers can register free of charge by completing a simple registration form and submitting it to Airtel Money agents. The service is available 24/7, allowing customers to conveniently access their funds anytime, anywhere, through their mobile handsets. Airtel Money is poised to become a significant player in advancing technology across Africa.
One notable advantage of Airtel Money is its ability to facilitate cash transfers to mobile phone users outside the Airtel network. In contrast, Mpesa restricts transfers to Safaricom subscribers only. Additionally, if a cash transfer via Airtel Money is unsuccessful, the amount will automatically be refunded to the sender's account, mitigating the risk of financial loss often associated with other platforms like Mpesa.
Currently, Airtel Money customers can conveniently pay their electricity and utility bills using their mobile phones. This service is available on all handsets, regardless of their cost, as it is a feature embedded in the SIM card rather than the phone itself. Airtel Money is revolutionizing the way financial transactions are conducted, empowering individuals and driving technological advancements throughout Africa.
