MTN Uganda has today announced a reduction in mobile money sending fees by more than half in a new promotion aimed at giving back to their customers.
The new offer which will run for eight weeks is in line with MTN’s commitment to drive financial inclusion in Uganda while delivering easier and more affordable services to its customers.
“We are passionate about enabling greater connection between people. By giving back through this half-price promotion, we will be enabling people to do more in their relationships by further providing the wide and crucial financial services at affordable rates,” said Christopher Ssali, Senior Manager Mobile Financial Services.
According to Wim Vanhelleputte, the MTN Uganda Chief Executive Officer, the telco has over the years given back to the Ugandan communities and to her loyal customers and continues to do so with joy.
“We have built the largest and most robust network and continue to invest significantly to always delight our customers with great, affordable, efficient, safe and convenient offers,” he noted.
MTN Mobile Money, the first and largest mobile money service in Uganda, has been at the forefront of financial inclusion in Uganda since it was first launched about 10 years ago.
“Back then you could only send and receive money, but today you can do much more with Mobile Money like paying for goods and services,” Enid Edroma, the General Manager Corporate Services revealed. “We have close to 9 million subscribers using MTN MoMo and we have seen over Ugx 30 trillion transacted since inception.”
