This is a simple guide on how to send money from MPesa to Airtel Money without a withdrawal code. Since the introduction of mobile money interoperability in 2022, the transfer of money between providers in Kenya has been simplified. Mobile money interoperability allows customers of mobile money providers to make payments to any merchant regardless of the network they subscribe to.
Previously, when sending money to an Airtel customer from Mpesa, they had a seven-day window to withdraw the funds from an agent using a code. This process was inconvenient for the receiver and costly for the sender due to higher charges for transferring money outside their network. Today, thanks to mobile money interoperability, customers can transfer money from MPesa to Airtel Money in real time, without having to withdraw from an agent.
