Bharti Airtel has unveiled a mobile money platform in Uganda, which now completes the technical process of linking its Tanzanian and Kenyan outfits and set the stage for cross-border money transfer.

Mr Michael Okwiri, the vice president for Corporate Communication at Airtel Africa, said this week that the firm was in the process of creating a seamless money transfer service across Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

“We have applied to the relevant authorities in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and are awaiting for regulatory approvals,” said Mr Okwiri.
