Airtel Africa’s Monthly Churn Rises to 4.3% Sequentially
It is worth noting that while the telco has made good profits, the monthly subscriber churn rate is higher than ideal. Airtel Africa reported a monthly churn rate of 4.3% sequentially, which is a marginal increase over the previous quarter.
In addition to this, the telco’s ARPU fell to $3.2%, which was a sequential decline of 3%. However, the telco’s data revenue grew 28% YoY and around 1.3% sequentially to $398 million. At the end of the quarter, the data customer base of the telco stood at 46.7 million, up by 3.6% sequentially and 15% annually.
Airtel Africa also received a full payment service bank (FSB) license in Nigeria. According to the CEO of the company, this license will pave the path for Airtel Africa to maximise and improve its revenues from the mobile money business.
