Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Airtel Tanzania-the smartphone network through its Airtel Money service has disbursed 2.1bn\/- to all its Airtel Money customers and agents, who have been using the service in this year\u2019s second quarter.<\/p>\n

Airtel Money Director Isack Nchunda said this in Dar es Salaam yesterday, adding that through the release, the disbursement came at a time when the telco sees the growth of customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to continue promoting financial inclusion. We are happy with the growth pace of our Airtel Money customers as we continue to see a double digit growth,\u201d Mr Nchunda said.<\/p>\n

The interest distribution would be paid through the telco\u2019s wallets\/accounts.<\/p>\n

Airtel Public Relations Manager Jackson Mmbando said the firm was committed in improving and bringing Airtel Money services closer to its customers and address the gap of unbanked population across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain committed to continue investing in bringing the best world class service, innovative, relevant products and services to save the majority of the Tanzanian in both rural and urban areas,\u201d Mr Mmbando said.<\/p>\n

In promoting financial inclusion, Airtel recently launched \u201cTuma Pesa Bure (send money free)\u201d initiative accompanied by rolling out of Airtel Money branches. The telco has over 2,000 Airtel Money branches offering an array of services and products to meet the current customer\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n
