This strategic deployment marks the beginning of a
continent-wide digital transformation program, designed to redefine how Airtel
Money delivers financial services to its 49.8 million customers. The rollout,
commencing in Kenya, will extend to several other Airtel Africa markets over the
coming year.
The new platform enhances operational efficiency and
scalability, unlocking a broader range of fintech services and positioning
Airtel Money as a complete digital financial ecosystem. With over 50 advanced
features and 120+ open APIs, it supports rapid partner onboarding, faster
innovation cycles, and the creation of new revenue streams across Airtel
Money’s pan African network.
Built on a security-first architecture, the platform
incorporates advanced safeguards including federated identity and multi-factor
authentication, ensuring trust, resilience, and regulatory compliance for
millions of customers. It will enable enhanced user interfaces, self-service
capabilities, and smoother international money transfers.
Airtel Money CEO, Ian Ferrao, said, “This is not just a
technology upgrade, it's a complete transformation of how we serve our
customers. With Comviva's mobiquity Pay, we are laying the foundation for a
future-ready financial ecosystem, accelerating financial inclusion, and
creating more opportunities for individuals and businesses across Africa.”
Comviva CEO, Rajesh Chandiramani, said, “We are proud to partner with Airtel Money on this transformative journey. This cloud-native deployment is a catalyst for accelerating financial inclusion, enabling millions of people to access secure, seamless, and innovative digital financial services. By combining cutting-edge architecture and intelligent automation, we are empowering operators to drive sustainable growth and unlock socio-economic opportunities at scale.”
