How Airtel Money works 

Airtel Money turns your mobile number into a digital wallet — no need for a traditional bank account. You register via *185# or the MyAirtel app to get started.

You can send money instantly to other mobile wallets or numbers, pay for goods and services at merchant points, and recharge airtime — all through USSD, the app, or merchant codes.

Airtel recently introduced the Airtel Money Global Pay Card, a virtual prepaid Mastercard that lets users make online and international purchases with funds from their Airtel wallet.

Cash deposits and withdrawals are handled at authorized Airtel Money agents and partner outlets across Uganda, ensuring access to physical currency when needed.
