MTN Uganda has today unveiled a new promotion, “The Power of Borderless”, aimed at simplifying transactions for its customers, particularly those engaging in international payments. The launch event took place in Kampala, with company representatives and business leaders in attendance.

Speaking at the event, Fatuma Shamim Kavuma from MTN highlighted that the initiative allows customers to make payments across countries including Tanzania, Kenya, and Dubai. She added that participants in the promotion also stand a chance to win a fully paid trip to Dubai courtesy of MTN. “This initiative enables customers to transact seamlessly, bypassing previous challenges,” she explained.

Kirungi, representing MTN MoMo, demonstrated how the promotion works for shopping in Dubai. “Shopping from Dubai is now more convenient than ever. You simply visit any Duty Free Point, input your phone number, and then your PIN. That’s what it means to be Borderless,” he said.

Isa Sekito, Chairman of the Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA), expressed appreciation for the initiative, noting that it would encourage more traders to join MTN Uganda and ease transaction challenges. “I thank MTN Uganda for this promotion, and I believe it will make our work much easier,” he said.

Aisha Mutasa, a trader under the Federation of Uganda Traders Association, praised MTN for supporting cross-border business activities. “We are grateful to MTN Uganda for this opportunity. It will greatly enhance our day-to-day operations and help us connect with people in other countries,” she said, urging MTN to continue introducing such initiatives.

The promotion also offers customers a chance to win various other prizes as part of MTN Uganda’s ongoing efforts to enhance financial accessibility and convenience.
