Airtel Money sets £250 minimum for retail IPO offer ahead of London listing

Airtel Money has set a minimum investment of £250 per investor for its retail offer ahead of its upcoming listing on the London Stock Exchange. The offer, which began on October 2, 2026, is open to eligible UK residents and investors physically present in the United Kingdom. The shares will be available through RetailBook's network of brokers, wealth managers, and investment platforms, alongside an offer to some institutional investors.

Airtel Money retains the right to modify or reject applications without providing a reason. The offer concludes at 5:00 p.m. on October 8, 2026, with the results to be announced on October 9. Shares are expected to commence unconditional trading on the London Stock Exchange at 8:00 a.m. on October 14, 2026. The timetable is indicative and subject to change, all times being in London time.

Eligible investors must be customers of a participating intermediary. Airtel Money warns that investing in its shares involves risks and that investors may receive less than they originally invested upon selling. The mobile money business within Airtel Africa experienced significant growth, leading to the company's preferred listing on the London Stock Exchange in July. The business had an annualized total payment value of over $245 billion at the time.
