UGANDA: Dancers celebrate the launch of Airtel mobile payments at a Total gas station

Customers at 45 Total gas stations in Uganda can now use their Airtel Money account to pay for fuel and services as well as make in-store purchases with their mobile phone. The service is to be rolled out across all 125 Total stations in the country in the coming weeks.

To pay, consumers dial *185#, select ‘Pay Bill’ and enter the gas station’s unique business number, displayed in each location. They then enter the amount to be paid along with a reference number, confirm the payment and enter their PIN code to complete the transaction.

Customers will also be able to deposit and withdraw money from their Airtel Money accounts at participating Total stations.
