Airtel Africa must list its mobile money division, Airtel Money, on the London Stock Exchange by July 31, 2026.

Failure to meet this deadline triggers a $515 million buyback obligation to strategic investors.

The company is currently working to complete the initial public offering before the cutoff date.

Market conditions previously forced a postponement of the unit's listing.

Airtel Money drives growth by providing financial services across Africa where traditional banking is limited.

A London listing will grant the division access to a broader international investor base.
