Bharti Airtel on Friday said it has introduced a cross-network money transfer service in Tanzania by partnering with mobile operator Tigo.
"The service will be available for Airtel Tanzania and Tigo customers, enabling them to experience a secure, fast and easy mode of money-transfer services between the companies’ mobile money wallets," the company said in a statement. The announcement follows an agreement last month to adopt such interoperability by telcos beginning July 2014.
