If you want every Airtel Money fee in one place, this is it. Airtel’s tariff has three parts: transfers to Airtel users, transfers to other networks, and agent withdrawals.

What this means in practice
- Sending within Airtel is always free, which is the main reason to hold the wallet.
- Sending to M-Pesa costs the same as an M-Pesa user sending to another M-Pesa user.
- Withdrawal fees match M-Pesa band for band, so cash out wherever the agent is closest.
