Airtel Money and Mastercard Enable Secure Global Payments Across Africa

Airtel Africa has announced the launch of the Airtel Money GlobalPay Card, a virtual payment solution connecting customers across Africa to global online marketplaces.

Through the platform, Airtel Money consumers will have the ability to make payments for travel bookings, utilities, subscriptions, and purchase goods from international suppliers—all from the convenience of their mobile phones.

This collaboration with Mastercard will empower Airtel’s 150 million mobile phone users in 14 African countries with safer and more secure international transactions.

At Airtel, we are continuously innovating to enhance the customer experience. By adding Mastercard’s secure virtual payment solution to Airtel Money, we are making international payments simpler and more accessible for our customers. This collaboration allows us to offer a global e-commerce experience.
