Airtel has introduced a new debit card that will enable its customers to withdraw money from Visa automated teller machines (ATM) across the world.
This service will offer Airtel money subscribers access about 10,000 ATM’s in Kenya to heighten telecom agency network which is smaller than Mpesa.
Airtel Money Visa debit card is a partnership between mobile operator, Visa and Chase bank and will assist telecom firm’s subscribers to pay their bills by use of plastic money.
This system will help reduce the issue floats among agents and customers will be able to withdraw large amounts of money with ease.
For an Airtel subscriber to withdraw money from Kenswitch ATM’s one will be charged Ksh 50 while Chase bank ATM will go for Ksh 30 and Visa enabled ATM in Kenya will be Ksh 100 and outside Kenya Ksh 250.
This comes after Safaricom rejected the push by Airtel and Yu to use Mpesa agents to offer their mobile phone cash transfer.
