Airtel Uganda, in partnership with FINCA Uganda has launched Easy Float, a new loan product designed to empower Airtel Money agents with quick and flexible access to working capital.
The service allows agents to seamlessly top up their float whenever they run low, ensuring uninterrupted service to customers.
The launch event held at Fairway Hotel in Kampala marked a significant milestone in enhancing financial inclusion and strengthening Uganda’s digital financial ecosystem.
Speaking at the launch, Japheth Aritho, Managing Director of Airtel Money Uganda, said the Easy Float initiative directly addresses the critical challenge of float liquidity that many agents face, adding that if an agent is depositing 20,000 shillings for a customer but the float is short by 5,000 shillings, they can instantly access a top-up through the Easy Float loan.
