MTN Eswatini’s Chief Consumer Officer, Sam Shongwe, shares insights and outlook of MoMo

Posted on by waseem

About seven years later after the introduction of MoMo in 2011 by Swazi MTN, the service has grown exponentially to hit E100 million in circulation on a monthly basis.

In the not so far future, all subscribers will be active on MoMo as we integrate with other financial service providers such as commercial banks and microfinance institutions.
