Agents connect the digital wallet to everyday cash transactions and provide a local point of contact. Airtel Money also draws on Airtel Africa's telecommunications distribution, technology and brand through commercial arrangements. These relationships connect the payments business with a wider mobile customer base. The combination of wallets, physical agents and telecoms distribution is central to how the service reaches customers.
