Airtel Money will file for a London initial public offering.

It brings a mobile-money service for tens of millions of unbanked Africans to City investors.

The offering seeks $800 million at an $8-9 billion valuation through a secondary share sale, leaving Airtel Africa a long-term investor.

Airtel Money sets its price range in early October, with final pricing in mid-October.
