Airtel Money has streamlined transferring funds from M-Pesa to Airtel Money wallets in real-time without withdrawal codes. The new process eliminates the previous 7-day withdrawal limit at sender agents.
With mobile money interoperability, Kenyans can now enjoy convenient, affordable money transfers between mobile networks. However, awareness of the direct transfer option without withdrawal codes remains low.
Sending money from M-Pesa to Airtel Money is simple:
- Dial *334# from your M-Pesa registered phone
- Select “Send Money”
- Choose “Send to other Network”
- Enter the Airtel Money mobile number
- Input transfer amount and M-Pesa PIN
- Confirm details and send
The funds will automatically deposit into the recipient’s Airtel Money wallet for instant access without any agent visits. This delivers greater flexibility compared to previous cross-network processes.
