Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Oh MTN Ghana\u2019s mobile money service has been adjudged the Best Mobile Money Wallet of the Year at the 6th Innovation and Excellence Awards, which formed part of this year\u2019s Connected Banking West Africa Summit held at the plush Kempiski Hotel in Accra, Ghana.<\/p>\n

General Manager at MTN Ghana, Sylvia Otuo-Acheampong received the award on behalf of MTN Mobile Money, at the event where a total of 27 awards were won by mainly banks and other financial technology service providers.<\/p>\n

She had earlier pointed out that MTN mobile money is the biggest mobile finance platform in the country with over 12 million active unique wallets, out of which about 50% are on smartphones. In Q3 2022 MTN Ghana, reported that mobile money revenue crossed GHS1.73 billion, representing 22.5 per cent of total service revenue for the period.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the number of its active mobile money users grew 16.3 per cent year-on-year, while cash outs on the platform also grew 15.9 per cent year-on-year. It also recorded some 17.7% increase in advanced service offerings such as micro-loans, remittances, insurance and other general payment services on the platform.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it is almost proverbial that mobile money in Ghana is MTN Mobile Money, without which that entire ecosystem, comprising of fintech firms, microinsurance companies, other mobile money wallets, payments firm and more, will be practically non-existent.<\/p>\n

The Connected Banking Summit and the Innovation and Excellence Awards was organized by International Center for Strategic Alliances (ICSA) to reward financial and technology industry players for what they are doing today to shape the future of banking in Africa.<\/p>\n
