Airtel Money officially announces the launch of its new international money transfer service, marking a decisive step forward in the development of financial inclusion in Africa. This expansion now allows users to send money from their mobile phones to 31 additional countries on the continent, well beyond the CEMAC zone.
Already firmly established in the six countries of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) – Congo, Cameroon, Gabon, Chad, the Central African Republic and Equatorial Guinea – Airtel Money is taking a new step forward with this expanded offering via the GIMAC Pay network.
Pan-African coverage, affordable pricing
The new service allows subscribers to send funds to key destinations such as Mali, Senegal, the DRC, Benin, and Côte d’Ivoire, among others, at a single rate of 3.8% excluding VAT for transfers outside the CEMAC region. Users can easily access the service by dialing *128*8# on their mobile phone.Airtel Money reaffirms its promise of a simple, secure, transparent, and 24/7 service for both individuals and businesses. This initiative responds to the new dynamics of trade, migration, and the growing need for interconnection on the continent.
A pan-African vision of financial inclusion
By facilitating money transfers across regional borders, Airtel Money aims to strengthen economic and social connectivity between African people, while contributing to the modernization of the continent’s financial infrastructure.
