Newrest partners with Airtel Money to provide online payment access to its Daily Break guests in Gabon

Newrest finalized in December the integration of Airtel money provided by local provider Airtel Gabon. It follows the implementation of the mobile app at Daily Break in November 2021. Newrest’s digital lab integrated the payment solution into Newrest’s online ordering application, Order’Eat. On December 27, the innovation was officially available to Newrest’s guests.

Airtel Gabon is the major telephone network in Gabon. It offers an online payment service called “Airtel money”, which is linked to an account through a telephone number.

Airtel money is the most widespread mobile payment solution throughout the country, counting more than 800,000 subscribers in 2021.

This partnership aims at overcoming the low access to bank cards in Gabon and thus make Newrest’s catering services accessible to the unbanked. This brings the consumer to finish its order until payment and gain more conversions. In the long run, this integration allows to reach a larger number of consumers with an Airtel money account.
