How your recipient gets paid in Uganda

Transfers to Uganda arrive in Ugandan shillings (UGX) on Airtel Money, one of the country’s two big wallets, used from Kampala and Entebbe to Gulu and Mbarara for airtime, school fees and the weekly shopping.

Airtel Money

What you need

  • An Airtel Uganda number registered for Airtel Money in the recipient’s own name.

  • Their name as registered on Airtel Money.

  • The country code +256. Airtel lines usually start with 070, 074 or 075.

How it lands

The shillings arrive in the Airtel Money wallet with an SMS. Your recipient can pay bills and merchants from it or cash out at any Airtel Money agent; Airtel’s tariffs apply to cash-outs.

Good to know

  • MTN Mobile Money is Uganda’s other wallet and a separate network. An MTN line cannot receive Airtel Money.

  • Airtel Money works on a basic phone through USSD, so your recipient needs no smartphone and no bank account.

  • The exact shilling amount is shown before you pay, at the rate of that very moment.

Sending to Uganda — common questions

How long does a transfer to Uganda take?
Depending on the payment method, transfers typically arrive within a few minutes or up to a few business days. You can track every step in the app until it lands.
What rate will I get?
The rate on this page is the app's rate at this very moment. We update rates regularly — because honoring the best rate on the market is our standing commitment.
How can my recipient receive the money?
Through the payout methods listed above. The app confirms availability for your exact recipient when you add them.
How much can I send?
Limits depend on your verification level, payment method, and destination — the app shows your exact limits during registration and in your dashboard.
Can I send to MTN Mobile Money in Uganda?
Not today. Airtel Money is the live rail for Uganda. The app lists the available networks when you add a recipient, and new ones appear there first.
Does my recipient pay to receive?
AnyMoney charges nothing on the receiving side. Cashing out at an agent follows Airtel Uganda’s standard tariffs, which we don’t control.
