MTN Uganda will no longer charge any amount of money for any Mobile Money transaction amidst the COVID-19 wave.
On 19th March, MTN Uganda announced that it had slashed Mobile Money tariffs for users sending money below UGX30,000 in a move that was aimed to lower risks of spreading the Coronavirus through hard cash transactions.
Today, it has been announced that for the next 30 days, MTN Momo users won’t be charged at all for sending any amount of money to fellow MTN users.
MTN is committed to continuing working with the government to reduce the impact and disruption that this pandemic is having on the lives of Ugandans.
