MoneyGram International has announced a new partnership with Airtel Africa, which provides telecommunications and mobile money services in 14 countries across Africa. The partnership enables Airtel Money’s 19 million customers to receive MoneyGram transfers directly into their mobile wallets from around the world.

Once Airtel Money customers receive the money, it can be accessed immediately and used to pay for goods and services or settle utility bill. It can also be transferred to other individuals, or the money can be withdrawn at any of Airtel Africa’s exclusive branches, kiosks and agents.
