Postbank Uganda, in collaboration with Airtel Money, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at fostering financial inclusion by eliminating charges on all transfers made from the PostApp and PostMobile to Airtel Money wallets.
With this partnership, PostBank customers will enjoy the convenience of transferring funds from their bank accounts directly to their Airtel Money wallets at zero cost
This initiative seeks to reduce the financial burden on PostBank customers while enhancing their access to a wide range of financial services through the extensive network of Airtel Money agents across Uganda.
Julius Kakeeto, the Managing Director of PostBank Uganda say that PostBank Uganda recognizes the importance of leveraging partnerships to expand access to financial services for all Ugandans.
He says that, this seamless integration between PostBank and Airtel Money will empower customers to manage their finances more efficiently and securely, regardless of their location.

“Our partnership with Airtel Money is focused on improving financial inclusion and addressing the needs of millions of customers in Uganda who lack access to banking and financial services. This not only demonstrates our mutual dedication to fostering meaningful transformation but also highlights our collective pledge to positively impact the lives of Ugandans”, says Julius noted.
