account on a mobile phone through which cash can be deposited and
the balance can later be used to pay for various products and

tickets, e-shopping, and more.

Through the Airtel Money Super Account,
customers will be enabled to make cash deposits, receive
remittances, transfer and withdraw money from authorised Airtel

cash for majority of transactions as well as payments”.
