In collaboration with Mastercard and Network International, Airtel Tanzania announced on Saturday the launch of the Airtel Money Global Pay Card, a new frontier in digital commerce and financial inclusion.
Thanks to this revolutionary solution, Tanzanians can now make safe, easy international payments without a traditional bank account. With this innovation, the world is now only a tap away, whether for online shopping, streaming services, educational platforms, or booking travel.
The virtual payment card’s complete integration into the Myairtel App allows for instant activation, TZS top-ups, real-time FX visibility, and worldwide acceptance across thousands of platforms.
What MyAirtel App offers
The MyAirtel App offers a virtual card that reimagines accessibility by enabling banked and unbanked users to conduct international business, education, and leisure transactions.
Many Tanzanians have long struggled with limited card access, currency conversion problems, and high gateway fees when conducting business abroad. Airtel Money Global Pay addresses these issues.
With this creative solution, the business is giving Tanzanians the confidence and ease to enter the global economy.
Thanks to Airtel Money Global Pay, Tanzania is one step closer to having a borderless, internet-connected economy.
