Airtel Kenya has partnered with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to allow Kenyan citizens to pay their taxes through the Airtel Money service.
Customers will now be able to access KRA services and make quick payments through Airtel Money, rather than having to walk to a KRA branch. The payments will be cleared, processed and credited to the KRA account in real-time.
All services to be paid for require a KRA payment reference number (PRN or an e-slip/invoice number), which can either be acquired on their website -iTax or on mobile phone.
KRA services can be paid through Airtel Money for amounts up to KES 140,000 per day.
“Airtel will continue to partner with corporate and government entities as it seeks to revolutionize its services and more importantly provide customers with convenient, fast and secure options of transacting on Airtel Money,” said Airtel Kenya CEO Adil El Youssefi, stressing that the new partnership was another way to improve the convenience of payments for the company’s customers.
