A new partnership between Total and Airtel Kenya will enable payments at service stations.
Customers will be able to pay for fuel, lubricants, car wash, car service and goods at all 174 Kenyan Total service stations using Airtel Money. Each station will have a paybill business name which customers can use to purchase goods and deposit and withdraw money.
Airtel Kenya's managing director, Shivan Bhargava, commented: "This partnership will enable our customers to pay for their fuel in a fast, safe and convenient way".
As part of a drive to expand its reach in the retail sector, Airtel Money is planning to increase its agents in Kenya from 9,500 to 15,00 by the end of the year, in a bid to compete with sector leader M-Pesa.
