As part of its ambition to build a truly digital ecosystem, MTN Rwanda has announced that it has introduced a Microcredit facility to its agents selling Airtime in the channel.
The objective of this service is to allow convenience and easy access to Airtime stock for electronic recharge to MTN resellers, while supporting and giving additional value to the agents’ point of sale.
This service is expected to increase active electronic airtime resellers at a time when business recovery and stability is key.
MTN Rwanda has also enhanced its Electronic Recharge Services (ERS) platform that will see MTN Agents self-serve by replenishing their Airtime Stock accounts via MoMo. Agents will no longer have to wait for motorists to physically deliver stock to them, the process is now fully digital.
In February 2020, MTN made a crucial milestone in its path to digitalisation by phasing out the use of physical airtime vouchers in the channel in favour of a fully digital solution.
MTN Rwanda’s Chief Sales & Distribution Officer, Norman Munyampundu
The Reseller Microcredit and Airtime stock replenishment via MoMo are two solutions that we are introducing in the trade as a continuation of our channel digitization initiatives.
MTN Rwanda CEO, Mitwa Ng’ambi
With the expansion of our agent network coupled with the improved airtime replenishment service, we are confident that this will position us to effectively drive our ambition of Leading Digital for a Brighter Rwanda.
