Airtel Uganda has partnered with FINCA Uganda to introduce *Easy Float*, a new loan facility aimed at providing Airtel Money agents with quick and affordable working capital.

The *Easy Float* product enables Airtel Money agents across the country to borrow funds from FINCA Uganda whenever they experience a shortage of float, allowing them to continue serving customers and repay the loan later.

During the launch, Japeth Aritho, Managing Director of Airtel Money, said the initiative was part of Airtel’s commitment to empower its agents with flexible and accessible financial solutions. He explained that the essence of *Easy Float* was to eliminate float constraints, enabling Airtel agents to serve confidently, maximize their earnings, and accelerate business growth. 

Aritho added that the product addresses the challenge of float liquidity and ensures agents can meet the growing demand for Airtel Money services across the country.

James Onyutta, Managing Director of FINCA Uganda, said the partnership marked an important milestone in promoting financial accessibility and inclusion. 

He noted that the collaboration would advance digital financial inclusion and empower small business operators within the Airtel Money ecosystem.

The partnership is expected to strengthen Airtel Money’s nationwide agent network, ensure consistent service delivery, and support the growth of Uganda’s digital financial landscape.
