This is a step-by-step guide on how to buy Equitel airtime via Mpesa. Equitel is a brand under Finserve Africa Limited, a subsidiary of Equity Bank Group Limited. Its mission is to offer inclusive, customer-focused services that socially and economically empower clients and other stakeholders.
It is an easy-to-use and secure mobile phone platform that enables you to manage your money and communicate with more freedom, choice and control. It allows you to carry out your financial transactions as well as make calls, send SMS and access the internet.
To get an Equitel sim card, visit any Equity Bank branch or any Equity agent. All you need is an original ID/ passport for Kenyan citizens or a valid alien card/ valid work permit for foreigners.
Equitel enables Mpesa top-ups. Registered users can now buy airtime and data bundles with the introduction of a new paybill number on Safaricom’s Mpesa mobile money transfer service.
The new paybill number adds to the existing top-up/ buying of airtime directly from a customer’s account or from an Equity agent countrywide.
