MTN Mobile Money Limited has recognized Emmanuel Ansu Gyeabour, a native of Dormaa Ahenkro, as its one-millionth customer on the MTN Mobile Money App.

 

To commemorate this milestone, Ansu Gyeabour was awarded a cash prize of Gh¢10,000 at a short ceremony held at Dormaa Ahenkro on Tuesday.

 

The Chief Commercial and Operations Officer of MTN MoMo, Mr. Abdul Razak Ali Issaka highlighted the app’s benefits, including error-free and delay-free transactions.

 

To him, the App’s introduction in nine months is part of MTN’s efforts to enhance its services, providing a more convenient alternative to traditional USSD codes.

 

Mr. Issaka told Kaakyire Kwasi Afari of Sunyani-based Ark fm that the reward marks a milestone for MTN Ghana’s digital financial services, demonstrating the growing adoption of mobile money solutions in Ghana.

 

He explained that the prize aims to show appreciation and recognition to all subscribers while encouraging more mobile money users to transition from traditional USSD codes to the more convenient and secure MTN MoMo App.

 

He said additional security measures are integrated to further safeguard transactions.

 

Mr. Izaka emphasized the app’s security features, including two-factor authentication, which requires both a PIN code and a one-time password (OTP) to access accounts.

 

“The use of the MoMo App is easier, much simpler and faster to use, and comes with the best security technology including two factor authentication and we are also re-introducing more security including biometric” he said.

 

Emmanuel Ansu Gyeabour, the lucky winner, expressed gratitude to MTN MoMo and requested the establishment of an MTN MoMo office in Dormaa Ahenkro to facilitate local support and issue resolution.

 

In a sidelined interview with Kaakyire Kwasi Afari after receiving his cash prize, he urged MTN to continue strengthening its security measures against fraud.

 

The 21-year-old phone repairer acknowledged that the majority of Dormaa-Ahenkro residents had subscribed to MTN Ghana, contributing to his appeal to the company to improve network coverage in the area.

 

 

 

Mr Haruna Shaibu, the Chief Executive Officer, MTN MoMo, said that currently, MoMo had more than 17 million customers, from wallet to savings, investments, and payments.
