dLocal, the leading cross-border payment platform connecting global merchants to emerging markets, has enabled Airtel Mobile Money as a payment method for Google Play in Kenya.
Airtel Mobile Money has played a transformative role in Kenya, contributing to one of the highest mobile money penetration rates globally.
