Airtel Money customers in Kenya can now enjoy seamless transactions by making payments directly to Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) Till Moja merchants, thanks to a new strategic partnership between Airtel Money and DTB. This collaboration is specifically designed to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by providing them with more flexible, convenient, and efficient digital payment solutions.
A major benefit for customers is the attractive incentive offered on Paybill transactions: users will receive a guaranteed 50% cashback in airtime on all Paybill payments made through this channel. This reward system encourages the adoption of digital payments while offering tangible value back to the customer.
How the Payment System Works
Through this new integration, Airtel Money users are able to:
-
Make Payments: Customers can settle bills directly with any DTB Till Moja merchant.
-
Deposit Funds: Users can deposit funds directly into any DTB bank account using the designated Paybill Number: 516600.
Payments and deposits can be easily initiated through two accessible channels:
-
Via the Airtel Money App.
-
By dialing the USSD code *334#.
This accessibility ensures that customers have an easy and convenient way to manage their transactions, promoting broader financial inclusion.
Driving Digital Payments and Financial Inclusion
The core objective of the partnership is to streamline payments for SMEs and significantly enhance financial inclusion across the country. By offering faster, simpler, and more rewarding digital payment options, the two organizations are helping businesses operate more efficiently and enabling consumers to transact more easily.
The formal collaboration signing was attended by Anne Kinuthia-Otieno, Managing Director of Airtel Money Kenya, and Murali Natarajan, Managing Director and CEO of DTB Kenya. Their presence underscored the importance of the partnership as a significant move toward supporting and strengthening Kenya’s growing digital payments ecosystem.
