# Zambia Mobile Money

> Step-by-step guide to adding a Zambia mobile money beneficiary on Devdraft, so you can send payouts to an Airtel or MTN number.

> [!NOTE]

> Zambia mobile money payouts are sent to an **Airtel** or **MTN** number in Zambia. This is the fastest recipient flow on Devdraft — just a phone number, with the name resolved and verified automatically.

## What You Need Before You Start

Have the following ready before you begin:

| Info | Notes |
| - | - |
| **Phone number** | The recipient's Airtel or MTN mobile money number in Zambia |

## Steps

**1. Start Adding a Recipient**

From the **Recipients** tab, tap the **+** icon in the top-left corner.

**2. Choose the Recipient Type**

The **Add Recipient** popup opens with four destination types:

* International bank — ACH, Wire, SEPA, PIX, SPEI and more
* Stablecoin wallet — Send to a wallet address
* Zambia bank — Bank account in Zambia
* **Zambia mobile money — Airtel or MTN in Zambia**

Select **Zambia mobile money**.

**3. Enter the Number**

The **Add recipient · Zambia** screen shows a single field:

| Field | Required | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| **Enter number** | Yes | The recipient's Zambian mobile money number, with country code `+260` |

As soon as a valid number is entered, Devdraft automatically looks up and verifies the account, showing the resolved account holder's name in a green confirmation badge below the field (e.g. *"Joseph Banda"*).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Unlike the bank beneficiary flows, this is a single-step process — there's no separate Owner or Bank Details screen, and no name field to fill in manually. The account holder's name comes directly from the verified mobile money account.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Double-check the number before saving — since the name is auto-resolved from the number itself, an incorrect digit will surface someone else's verified name rather than an error.

Once the account is verified, tap **Save recipient**.

## What Happens Next

Once saved, the beneficiary appears on the **Recipients** screen and is ready to receive a mobile money payout via Airtel or MTN.
