Airtel Mobile Commerce Uganda (AMCUL), has partnered with Stabex International, a renowned fuel distribution company, to boost cashless transactions and enhance digital financial inclusion among Ugandans.

This collaboration will allow Airtel Money customers to conveniently pay for fuel and access other services at any Stabex fuel station in Uganda using Airtel Money.

While announcing this partnership, the Airtel Money Operations Head, Hope Ekudu said, "We are excited to partner with Stabex International to further promote digital financial inclusion in Uganda.

Through this partnership, our customers can now make cashless transactions for fuel purchases and access other services at Stabex fuel stations across the country using their mobile wallets," said Hope Ekudu, the head of Airtel Money Operations.

"This partnership will also allow Stabex customers making cashless payments to enter a draw for a chance to win exciting prizes in our ongoing nationwide Vroomula Amajja campaign. These prizes include a brand-new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid sports utility vehicle (SUV), motorbikes, and e-money."

According to the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) 2024 Quarter 2 report, mobile money transactions have risen to 1.84 billion, up from 1.72 billion in the previous quarter. "The growth in mobile money transactions has inspired us to partner with Airtel Mobile

We believe this collaboration will encourage more Ugandans to embrace cashless payments, making transactions faster and more secure," said Justus Kiptoo General Manager Stabex International, "We are also excited that our customers will be rewarded for using cashless payments through the Vroomula Amajja promotion. Additionally, we are proud to announce that the winners of motorbikes and the grand prize of the Toyota Hybrid will also receive a full tank of fuel," Kiptoo added.

Over 2,000 Airtel Money users have been rewarded with various prizes, including 52 motorbikes worth shs200 million and daily cash rewards for cashless transactions.
