Airtel Money Kenya has unveiled Bizna Wallet, a dedicated business wallet designed to help Kenya’s small businesses better manage their finances through a simple, secure and efficient digital solution.

Kenya’s SMEs are rapidly embracing digital payments. According to the Mastercard SME Confidence Index, 95 percent now accept mobile payments, reflecting growing demand for financial solutions that go beyond simply receiving money. 

Bizna Wallet responds to this shift by giving entrepreneurs a dedicated business wallet to better manage cash flow while strengthening confidence in digital transactions.

Speaking during the launch, Airtel Money Kenya Acting Managing Director, Michael Bonke said Airtel Money Bizna Wallet is developed to address the practical financial management needs of Kenya’s growing small business community.

“Small businesses are at the heart of Kenya’s economy, yet many entrepreneurs still rely on personal wallets to manage business finances. Airtel Money Bizna Wallet is designed for kiosk owners, market traders, boda boda riders, matatu operators and other micro-businesses to enable them to separate business income from personal finances, monitor their daily sales, access mini statements, receive payments across mobile money networks and protect business payments from unauthorized reversals, giving entrepreneurs greater visibility over their cash flow and more stable business operations. Our goal is to provide solutions that help businesses operate more efficiently while making digital financial services more accessible and rewarding,” said Michael Bonke.

As part of its commitment to delivering innovative, value-driven financial solutions, Airtel Money has also expanded its Rudishiwa cashback proposition to support Kenya’s business community and individual customers. 

Airtel Money is now extending the same rewards to all Airtel Money users by offering 50 percent cashback on eligible transactions, including paybill payments, sending money to other mobile money networks, bank transfers to wallet and transfers of money to bank accounts.

“As Kenya’s digital economy continues to grow, so do the needs of businesses and consumers. At Airtel Money, we are continuously investing in technology, expanding our reach and developing innovative solutions that make financial services simpler, more secure and more relevant for our customers. This is why we have introduced cashback rewards to Airtel Money users. Initially, we had airtime rewards, and now we have introduced real cash rewards that go into your cashback wallet for every eligible transaction. Customers can transfer the cash from the cashback wallet into the main Airtel Money wallet,” added Bonke.

This cashback program is available to all registered Airtel Money customers in Kenya who complete qualifying transactions of KSh 101 or more, with no opt-in required. 

Cashback is applied instantly and credited as cash, rather than airtime, into a dedicated Cashback Wallet for both USSD (334#) and My Airtel App users, where customers can conveniently access and use their rewards across a wide range of Airtel Money services.
