MoMoPay is a service that allows merchants to receive payments for goods and services from their customers using MTN Mobile Money. The service is accessible through the My MTN App or *165*3#. With MTN MoMoPay, merchants can also sell airtime and earn commission, pay suppliers and their workers’ salaries as well as transfer money to the bank.

Commenting about the MoMoPay X-mas promotion, Martin Mwesiga the Consumer Segment Manager at MTN Uganda said that since Christmas and the festive season are about shopping, gifting and merry making, MTN Uganda wants to make it easier for its clients by giving them a discount on their festive season shopping payments made through MoMoPay.

“This year has been disrupted and the times have been tough. That is why we are bringing cheer to your festive season with MTN MoMoPay daily discounts. Simply make payments using MTN MoMoPay and get a 5% discount on your first payment every day.” Mwesiga said. This promotion will continue throughout the festive season.

In adherence to the COVID-19 SOPs, payments done digitally through MoMoPay will further help in preventing the spread of the corona virus since the payment method limits the exchange of physical cash. MoMoPay is safe, convenient, free and available in all the leading supermarkets and shops across the country.
