Airtel Kenya plans to roll out a digital overdraft service as it eyes a share of the short-term mobile loans market, which rival Safaricom dominates with its Fuliza feature.

Safaricom is currently the only telco with the service locally, and Airtel plans to challenge it with a similar offering on Airtel Money. Kenya’s second-largest network carrier has hinted at cheaper interest rates for the offer.
