Benefits for Airtel Money customers who transact at Naivas branches
Customers that transact at the Naivas branches will also benefit from free withdrawal services as part of the ongoing “Rudishiwa Transaction Fee Campaign.”
With every withdrawal, this initiative, which began December 2023, reimburses Airtel Airtime for withdrawal transaction expenses. For example, a customer who withdraws 1,000 kes will be charged 25 kes for the withdrawal. The 25 kes can be used for SMS, data bundles, or airtime.
