Airtel Removes Transaction Fees for Kenya Power Bill Payments

Airtel Kenya has announced a new partnership with Kenya Power. This will allow the telecom company to have zero transaction fees for users who pay Kenya Power rates through Airtel Money. This means that you can pay your Kenya Power bills without transaction fees. This step is clearly structured to enable more people to use his Airtel Money for these payments.

How to pay your electricity bill in Kenya with Airtel Money

• Dial *334# on your Airtel mobile phone.

• Select the “Airtel Paybill” option.

• Choose “KPLC” as the bill payment option.

During this period, Airtel aims to introduce customers to Airtel Money, convenient way to pay for electricity and other utilities in Kenya. At the end of the six month promotional period, regular transaction fees will be reintroduced. Airtel Kenya announced a new partnership with Kenya Power that will see the Telco zero rate the transaction fees for those paying their Kenya Power bills via Airtel Money. This means that you can pay your Kenya Power bill and not incur any transaction fees in the process. This move is clearly structured to get more people to use Airtel Money when making these payments.

Airtel Money MD Anne-Kinuthia Otieno expressed their satisfaction in offering Kenyans a solution that allows them to enjoy zero transaction costs for the next six months when making electricity payments. This cost-saving initiative enables customers to allocate their money towards other purchases.

With such a deal, Airtel hopes it can get some people to use its mobile money product instead of M-Pesa. M-pesa has been the dominant option with most bill payments in Kenya and Airtel wants a share of that. Airtel Money split into a separate entity from Airtel last year in a move aimed to transform it into an independent fintech solution in the market it operates in. This was a good move and might even be better with such partnerships.
