The ‘advanced offline payment system’ will go live over the course of next few months and will enable users to make payments via CBDCs on feature phones sans internet

The product, which is currently in design phase, will leverage Airtel Payments Bank’s financial solution and IDEMIA’s CBDC stack to build the app

The new offering will aim to fuel the adoption of CBDCs in the country, promote financial inclusion and address issues associated with facilitating digital transactions in areas with limited connectivity
