Airtel Money (艾特尔货币) 本月晚些时候在 London Stock Exchange (伦敦证券交易所) 上市时，将不包括其陷入困境的尼日利亚金融科技业务。根据 Airtel Money (艾特尔货币) 的首次公开募股招股

招股说明书称，该集团是一个泛非洲（pan-African）金融科技（fintech）平台，业务遍及13个非洲国家，截至2026年6月30日，服务约5300万月活跃用户。

自尼日利亚中央银行 (CBN) 于2018年推出支付服务银行 (PSBs) 以来，电信主导的金融科技公司一直难以将其用户规模转化为金融服务领域的主导地位，原因在于牌照限制以及它们进入一个已然成熟的市场的时间较晚。

PSBs（支付服务银行）可以接受存款并提供支付便利，但其放贷业务受到限制，这切断了金融科技公司通过客户实现盈利的最赚钱途径之一。

When Airtel Money lists on the London Stock Exchange later this month, it will do so without its struggling Nigerian fintech business. A Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) directive required the mobile money business to transfer its 25% stake in SmartCash, the vehicle through which Airtel operates its Nigerian fintech business, back to Airtel Networks Limited, its Nigerian telecom subsidiary, according to Airtel Money’s IPO prospectus. 

The deal was completed for $3 million. But Airtel Money says it is exploring ways to bring SmartCash back into the group. However, the Nigerian business will not be part of the fintech company investors are buying when it lists on October 14.

“The Group is exploring options to bring Smartcash Nigeria within the Group’s perimeter, consistent with the structure of the Group’s other operations,” Airtel Money said in its IPO prospectus. “There can be no assurance as to the timing or outcome of these, which remain subject to regulatory approvals.”  

The prospectus describes the group as a pan-African fintech platform operating in 13 African countries and serving approximately 53 million monthly active users as of June 30, 2026.
