TV personality, Faridah Nakazibwe has been unveiled as an ambassador for Chipper Cash, a financial platform that enables instant cross-border mobile money transfers in Africa.
The NTV News Anchor was unveiled on Wednesday at a press briefing that was held at the Chipper Cash offices located at SMS House on 7th street in Kampala.
“I am honored to have been chosen to work with the Chipper Cash brand,” she told media. “They are relatively new on the market, but very aggressive. I am happy to be walking this journey with them.”
According to Dan Tumuramye, the Country Manager of Chipper Cash, Faridah was chosen for the ambassadorial role because she resonates well with their target audience. “We are excited to have Faridah Nakazibwe join the Chipper Cash family. Besides being vibrant online, she is also a media personality, and her outlook to her base fits well into our user attraction base.”
Faridah Nakazibwe will be charged with creating visibility and strengthening brand equity for the Chipper Cash brand.
Her unveiling comes after Chipper Cash recently launched in the UK. As part of the launch offer, users in the UK get a 15% instant cash back when they send money back to Uganda using the platform while the receiver also gets a 5% cash back.
On the other hand, each Ugandan who downloads the app and shares their referral link to a person in the UK (friend or family) gets UGX50,000 as a referral bonus when the UK person downloads the app, verifies their account, and sends £20 to any Chipper Cash user in Uganda.
“With my TV show, I have been very busy in the diaspora, especially the UK and the US. I think the timing to have me on board is perfect and this will be a plus for the brand.” Faridah Nakazibwe concluded.
