How MTN Uganda made this possible
MTN is patterning with MFS Africa, known as the best gateway to send money to Mobile Wallets in Africa. MFS has its headquarters in South Africa, Johannesburg where it rooted and joined hands to bring MTN Homeland Application into play.
Far from supporting the transfer of money to Mobile wallets across Africa, MSF’s API enables merchant payment, bulk payment, bank-to-wallet transfers, and an array of other cross border digital payments services.
MTN Homeland Service has followed the footsteps of platforms like World remit, Azimo, Eversend, Moneygram, Western Union, TransferWise, Xpress Money, Skrill, Transfast, SimbaPay, Payoneer and many more services that facilitate sending and receiving of E-Money across borders. Thanks to MTN for bringing us another service we always still look out for.
