Airtel Money introduces QR code payment system

Airtel Money has introduced a new payment feature that enables customers to pay for goods and services by simply scanning a QR code for a registered outlet.

The new ‘Scan and Pay’ feature has been integrated into the My Airtel mobile app and it allows payment for goods and services at merchants such as groceries, superettes, restaurants and other outlets.

It also empowers customers to send money to others from just scanning the QR code displayed on the recipient’s mobile device.

Airtel Money Director, Brighton Banda, has pointed out that the new feature will enhance customers’ convenience by significantly minimizing the time taken to transact when using other modes of payment.
