On Wednesday, MTN Uganda celebrated 17 years since officially launching its operations in 1998. From humble beginnings in 1994 back in South Africa, the company is now a leading mobile network operator in the Uganda offering a bouquet of services including mobile, data and fixed line communications plus a catalogue of mobile financial services.

“This important anniversary gives us an opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary achievements over the years, as well as energize us for the road ahead. The industry has changed dramatically – customers know value and are demanding for it. MTN is committed to making our customers’ live a whole lot brighter through continued investment, innovations and development of solutions that deliver tangible value for customers.,” said MTN’s Chief Marketing Officer, Mapula Bodibe.

And since 2009, MTN Uganda has made tremendous strides to improve financial inclusion and access to financial services for customers across Uganda. Through MTN Mobile Money, MTN Uganda has become the leading Mobile Financial Services provider serving over 4.5 million registered users.

“We are delighted to continue being part of Uganda’s amazing story of growth and resilience to succeed, and look forward to being there as we step into the future,” Ms. Mapula concluded.
