Find out how you can get some CASHBACK using Airtel Money

Sending money has become part of everyday life for millions of Kenyans. Whether it’s supporting family members, paying a supplier, contributing to a fundraiser, or splitting a bill with friends, consumers increasingly want fast, secure and convenient solutions.

With Airtel Money, customers can send money instantly to loved ones, businesses and other mobile users without the need to visit a banking hall or ATM. Better still, sending money from Airtel Money to another Airtel Money customer is completely free.

More value when sending across networks

Airtel Money customers sending money to M-PESA users can enjoy an added benefit through Airtel's CASHBACK initiative. When customers transfer money from Airtel Money to M-PESA, they receive 50 percent of the transaction fees as CASHBACK, which is credited to their Bonus Wallet. Customers can easily check their accumulated cashback balance or withdraw their bonus by dialing *334# and selecting Option 98.

To send money from Airtel Money to any mobile network, follow these steps:

  • Dial *334# or use MyAirtel App
  • Choose Send Money to Any Network
  • Enter the recipient's phone number.
  • Enter the amount you want to send.
  • Enter your Airtel Money PIN to authorise the transaction.

Security remains a priority

Using mobile money reduces the need to carry cash while providing users with transaction records and account management tools that help them track their finances more effectively. Consumers are also encouraged to keep their PIN confidential and verify recipient details before completing transactions.

Driving Kenya's Digital Economy

The growth of instant money transfers reflects a broader shift towards digital financial services. For customers looking to send money instantly, Airtel Money continues to provide a convenient option for transferring funds whenever and wherever needed. With free Airtel-to-Airtel transfers and 50 percent transaction fee cashback when sending to M-PESA, customers can enjoy greater value while staying connected to the people who matter most.
