Airtel Money channels: deposit, withdrawal and coupon
Deposits to the Airtel Money wallet are free at service points (PoPs, Cash Points and Yas Stores) — you only pay to send and withdraw. For withdrawal there are two channels: the Cash Point (agent), and, for partner-bank customers, the ATM — for example BRED Madagasikara ATMs, the ATM partner. Withdrawal fees follow the bands in the table above.
To send to someone without a mobile money account, the coupon system lets the recipient withdraw the amount with a code, without a wallet. The per-operation transfer cap is 20 million ariary; above that, the send must be split.
Transfer to another operator (interoperability)
Madagascar has full, multidirectional interoperability: from Airtel Money you can send to the other operators (MVola, Orange Money, Airtel Money), routed by the recipient number's prefix. The rate for a transfer 'to another operator' can differ from a same-network transfer, so check the recipient's operator before sending.
Identify a number's operator with our prefix page (032, 033, 034…). Confirm the exact cross-operator schedule on the operator's site.
