Madam Adwoa Animah, a member of the Kejetia Yam Sellers Association said the introduction of MoMo has enabled her to keep large amounts of money on her phone for her business.
“I now travel with peace of mind to buy the yam in good quantities from the southern sectors of Ghana because I know my money is safe on my MoMo wallet”, Madam Animah noted.
Agents:
Akwasi Addai, an MTN MoMo agent at Tanso said that by deciding to become a trader on the platform he has been able to make good money and take care of many responsibilities he had.
“By allowing me to become MTN MoMo agent, the company has helped me to take care of their numerous customers on the platform who either takes money out or put money on same”, Mr Addai stated.
