Airtel Money has partnered with KCB Bank Kenya to allow customers to deposit and withdraw cash at more than 22,000 KCB agents nationwide.
The collaboration brings together Airtel Money’s growing user base with KCB’s extensive agency banking network. This enables customers to access services more conveniently across the country without needing to visit a bank branch or Airtel shop.
Speaking during the signing, Anne Kinuthia-Otieno said the move underscores Airtel Money’s commitment to expanding access and convenience.
“By opening access to KCB’s extensive agent network, we are bringing Airtel Money services closer to more Kenyans and making it easier for customers to deposit and withdraw money wherever they are. As Airtel Money continues to grow, partnerships such as this help us expand access to financial services while supporting the country’s financial inclusion agenda,” she said.
On her part, Annastacia Kimtai emphasized the importance of collaboration in building a more inclusive financial system.
“What we are doing is recognizing the fact that diverse and interconnected opportunities are still core to the mobile money value proposition. Reaching critical mass will require mobile money ecosystems to become more dynamic and productive. Such a move will enable mobile money services to take root, proliferate, and scale up,” she noted.
Customers will need a valid national ID and a registered Airtel Money account to access the service. Deposits will be free, while standard withdrawal charges will apply.
