Airtel Mobile Commerce Uganda Limited (AMCUL) will continue to send money to other networks in Uganda, East Africa and the world, for as low as UGX100, following the fintech’s decision to maintain, for good, a price-cutting campaign it launched in December 2022.
In a media statement, Airtel Money said it would maintain the reduced transaction charges announced last year, in the #PakaKuGround drive, which cut rates by up to 95%.
Japheth Aritho, the AMCUL Managing said that the move was aimed at addressing affordability challenges as well as enhancing interoperability, as the fintech moves to enhance digital financial inclusion.
“We made a pledge to build a sustainable business that shares value within the community. Therefore, on the above grounds, we have decided to maintain our “big cut” on transaction charges to not only appreciate our customers but also deliver on our commitment to building Uganda and Africa, our home,” he said.

This initiative does not only cover reductions in Uganda only but additionally extends to the global fraternity. You can send money to any Airtel number in Africa, plus other cross-border networks that include Safaricom, Vodacom, Tigo, Ecocash, Tele birr and Orange.
“It is indeed AMCUL’s mandate to offer affordable and borderless transactions in Uganda and across the globe via the Airtel Money platform. As such, we continuously aim to provide solutions that cut across our customer base both in the country and the global fraternity. This is one of the many ways that we aim to deliver on abroad customer value proposition and ensure digital uptake and financial inclusion across our entire customer base,” added Aritho.
To send money, customers need to dial *185*1# and follow the prompts.
