Global payment solutions provider dLocal has partnered with Airtel Mobile Money to enhance digital payment accessibility for Google Play users in Kenya. This strategic integration enables consumers to seamlessly purchase apps, games, and other digital content using their Airtel Mobile Money wallets, eliminating the reliance on credit or debit cards.
Advancing Digital Inclusion Through Mobile Payments
Kenya is a global leader in mobile money adoption, with over 31.5 million active accounts, covering nearly 80% of the adult population.

Expanding Access to Digital Content
Kenya has a rapidly growing mobile money subscriber base of over 42 million, with Airtel Mobile Money serving 3.7 million users. By introducing Airtel Mobile Money as a payment option, dLocal is breaking down financial barriers and empowering consumers with a secure and convenient way to access digital content.
This collaboration underscores the growing importance of financial and digital inclusion, ensuring that users in emerging markets can actively participate in the digital economy.
