Airtel Kenya has launched its 69th outlet in Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD), located on Gaborone Road, adjacent to Nairobi Textiles, to boost mobile money services.

The new franchise outlet brings Airtel outlets in the country to over 2,600.

Speaking during the launch, Airtel Kenya Chief Commercial Officer Aashish Dutt said the shop will serve Airtel Money agents within Nairobi’s downtown area, allowing them to purchase and balance float conveniently without crossing multiple streets to access the services.

Further, he said the shop will offer a range of other crucial services, including wholesale airtime to distributors, selling 4G and 5G broadband devices, and pocket MiFi devices.

Other are SIM cards, SIM swap services, registration of Airtel Money, Paybill, till numbers, cash deposit, and withdrawal services.

“By scaling up the purchase of Airtel Money float, we are empowering our agents to better serve customers, ensuring a seamless and reliable experience for all.”

Airtel Kenya currently has over 5,000 Airtel Money agents strewn across the Nairobi Metropolitan Area.
