Mr Haruna announced that solid services would be introduced in the coming years to advance customer experience as an evolving mobile financial tool.

Background
In 2009, MTN Ghana set out to redefine the course of Ghana’s financial sector with the launch of MoMo and after 10 years of implementation, this e-financial mechanism has become a major bug in homes and the business community in general.
The service has 11.3 million subscribers with 250,000 agents and 200,000 merchants across the country.
The MoMo CEO attributes the successes over the last decade to the critical contributions of merchants and agents.
He described the financial year as a difficult one with the introduction of E-levy as well as the challenges customers had with accessing their MoMo wallets during the SIM barring exercise.
He said their resilience as a people has enabled them to soldier on and today, they are to celebrate their achievements and strategize for next year.
