With this programme, we intend to connect as many Rwandans as possible to the digital world because we know the benefits that will come with it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mitwa further indicated that once launched on the market, this programme will enable customers to purchase smartphones of their choice on credit, paying back small amounts in installments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCredit eligibility will be based on a customer\u2019s usage patterns on voice calls, data, and mobile money. With offers as low as Rwf200 per day, payments will be made in three flexible settlements either daily, weekly, or monthly via mobile money,\u201d Mitwa added.<\/p>\n<p>Diane Karusisi, Chief Executive Officer of BK PLC welcomed the partnership noting that it will help Rwanda to ease access to smartphones and empower communities in various ways such as access to internet, information, social services, among many others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are constantly devising new ways to transform lives through financial inclusion across all customer segments and through this initiative, we believe more people will be able to access our digital financial services and transact seamlessly,\u201d said Karusisi.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n
