Interswitch Uganda has partnered with Hamilton Telecom to expand access to Paxtel airtime and data services through the Quickteller agent network across Uganda. The partnership will enable Paxtel customers to conveniently purchase airtime and data bundles from more than 21,000 Quickteller locations nationwide, bringing essential connectivity services closer to homes, businesses, and underserved communities.
Quickteller, a flagship product of Interswitch, offers a wide range of digital financial services, including bill payments, mobile money transactions, and agency banking. The platform operates one of Uganda’s most extensive agent networks, connecting users to hundreds of billers while simplifying everyday payments and improving access to financial services.
Through this collaboration, customers will now be able to access Paxtel services quickly and conveniently through trusted Quickteller agents, reducing the need to travel long distances to recharge airtime or purchase data. Speaking on the partnership, Yusuf Lule, Country Head of Finance and Supply Chain at Interswitch Uganda, said: “By integrating Paxtel services onto the Quickteller platform, we are extending the reach of essential telecommunications services through our extensive agent network and making it easier for more customers to stay connected wherever they are.”
PaxTel, owned and launched by Hamilton Telecom late last year, is a Ugandan telecommunications and digital solutions company, providing mobile voice and data services, enterprise connectivity, and its own mobile money platform, PaxSente. This partnership reinforces both organisations’ shared commitment to driving digital inclusion and improving service accessibility across Uganda by leveraging technology and widespread distribution networks.
On the partnership, Otaremwa Otuhumurize, the Hamilton CEO, says the partnership represents an important milestone in enhancing accessibility and convenience for Paxtel customers across Uganda. ”By leveraging Quickteller’s extensive agent network, we are bringing telecom and digital services closer to communities while strengthening our mission of driving affordable connectivity, financial inclusion, and ecosystem digitization,” he says. Interswitch believes this collaboration will significantly accelerate access to Paxtel products and improve customer experience nationwide.
”With the growing demand for convenient digital and telecommunications services, the collaboration is expected to significantly enhance customer experience by increasing the number of accessible recharge points for Paxtel users across the country.” By combining Quickteller’s expansive agent footprint with Paxtel’s telecommunications services, Interswitch and Hamilton Telecom aim at simplifying access to airtime and data services while supporting greater connectivity and digital access for communities across Uganda-URN.
