What is Airtel Wallet?
Airtel Wallet is a digital wallet service offered by Airtel Payments Bank. It allows users to store money digitally, enabling them to make payments, recharge their mobile phones, pay bills, and more. Airtel Wallet users can add money to their wallet using their bank account or credit/debit card and use the balance for various transactions like utility bill payments, recharge, scan and pay transactions, and others.
The wallet is linked to the user’s mobile number, and they can access the service through the Airtel Thanks app or the Airtel Payments Bank website. Every transaction that takes place using Airtel Wallet is extremely quick and instant. While UPI transactions require users to put in a UPI pin, wallet transactions don’t require users to put in any pin. Therefore, it is advised to maintain a balance that is required for everyday needs.
Since the wallet can be used for a range of services, including mobile and DTH recharges, utility bill payments, online shopping, and more, it’s important to look into the offers related to the wallet. The Airtel Thanks app runs a lot of cashback and discount offers for every transaction made using the wallet. You can download the Airtel Thanks app to use the wallet, manage it, and even check your Airtel account’s balance regularly.
