Airtel Mobile Money has played a transformative role in Kenya, contributing to one of the highest mobile money penetration rates globally. With over 31.5 million mobile money accounts, representing nearly 80% of the adult population, Airtel is a key enabler of financial inclusion in Kenya and across Africa.
By enabling Airtel Mobile Money as a payment method, dLocal is supporting Google to provide a localized solution that meets the needs of users in Kenya. This reinforces Google’s commitment to expanding digital accessibility, ensuring that a much larger audience can engage with Google Play without barriers.
“Enabling Kenyan users to purchase a wide variety of applications on Google Play using Airtel Mobile Money to Kenya is a proud moment for us,” said John O’Brien, Chief Revenue Officer at dLocal. “This partnership reflects our shared dedication to promoting financial inclusion and empowering users in emerging markets by enabling access to tailored payment solutions.”
