Why more shoppers are choosing the Buy Goods option with Airtel Money

Kenya’s retail landscape is rapidly changing as consumers increasingly adopt digital payment methods for everyday shopping. Customers are embracing cashless transactions that offer speed, convenience and security.

One feature driving this transformation is the Buy Goods option, which has become a popular way to complete purchases without handling physical cash.

Till ni Till: Making payments easier across networks

One of the latest innovations helping accelerate cashless payments is the Till ni Till initiative. The service allows Airtel Money customers to pay into tills belonging to any mobile money provider, giving shoppers greater freedom and convenience when making purchases.

Whether paying at a supermarket checkout, settling a restaurant bill, purchasing fuel, shopping at a retail store, or buying goods from a neighbourhood vendor, customers can simply use Airtel Money to make payments across networks.

How to pay via Till Number using Airtel Money Kenya

  • Dial *334# or use MyAirtel App
  • Select Paybill and Till Payments
  • Select Till
  • Enter the Till Number and the amount
  • Enter your Airtel Money PIN to confirm the payment.

Benefits for businesses

The growth of Buy Goods transactions is also benefiting merchants. With solutions such as Till ni Till, merchants can also accommodate a wider range of customers without concerns about network compatibility, creating a more seamless shopping experience.

A growing payment culture

As more Kenyans embrace cashless shopping, mobile wallets are becoming part of everyday life. The Buy Goods option continues to bridge these needs by making mobile payments easier and more accessible, while innovations such as Till ni Till are helping ensure that customers can pay wherever they shop, regardless of the mobile money provider behind the merchant's till.
