Today, Airtel Uganda and Kampala Capital City Authority officially unveiled the e-City project, an electronic mode for collection of KCCA dues, that allows customers to pay their taxi monthly license, trading license & property rates, land dues and yellow fever vaccinations by using the convenient and instant Airtel Money platform.
Speaking at the launch event, the Airtel Uganda Managing Director Mr. Tom Gutjahr said that Airtel is proud to be associated with the development of Kampala and partnering with KCCA to ease the services provided to its residents.
“As the smartphone network, we are extremely gratified that through Airtel Money, all Kampala residents can now pay for their services with ease, securely and instantly,” he said.
Since the launch of this product last year, Airtel money has been the major mode of payment that has been embraced by the public who have credited it for being simple, very secure, time saving and instant. Customers do not have to wait in queues to make payments before they can get service from KCCA.
Airtel Uganda has been at the forefront in regards to partnering with companies and fostering innovations that are aimed at improving the lives of their customers. With innovations such as; sending and receiving money across networks, Airtel Money ATM withdrawals, Bank integration, bill payments with Airtel money, Airtime topping up using Airtel Money and now KCCA fee payment using Airtel money, Airtel has always had the interests of their customers at heart and has tried to cater to all of them despite their different locations and economic activities.
The benefits of this KCCA fees payment solution include:
1. 24/7 convenient payment solution (anywhere, anytime) – all they need is a phone with an Airtel Money account.
2. A customer can pay in installments using their Airtel money account.
3. Security – the customer receives a payment receipt which he can present when the KCCA enforcers attack him for not having paid yet he did. He will show them that receipt or go to his Airtel Money account, select KCCA, and a balance he owes KCCA will show, if cleared, he will have zero balance.
4. Simple and instant.
