Airtel
Mobile Commerce (Airtel Money, Zambia) has announced that it has partnered with the
Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) to quicken the process of
disbursing and receiving repayments of business loans.
According
to a statement issued on their LinkedIn social media platform, the partnership
comes into effect immediately following the official signing.
The Country Director for Airtel Mobile Commerce (Airtel
Money), Andrew Chuma said the Airtel Money business had seen growth in many
aspects and was happy to be contributing to the National Financial Inclusion
Strategy which supports institutions to leverage digital technologies to
reduce costs and expand financial services to both the formal and informal
sectors.
“The partnership we are announcing today is an important one
as we support Government’s agenda in the 8th National Development Plan to
increase access to affordable financial services, particularly by women, youth,
persons with disabilities, and the rural-based population.” Mr. Chuma said.
CEEC Director General, Dr. Muwe Mungule also stated that the
partnership is expected to provide real value by enabling CEEC clients on the
Airtel network to repay their CEEC business loans in a secure, fast, and
convenient manner.
“We are certainly delighted with this partnership with Airtel
Money as it gives CEEC clients, not only marketeers a modern-day experience
with CEEC. Going forward, the Commission would like to increase its technology
touch points for better service delivery,” he added.
