Sharing details on the theme, the Ag. Chief Executive Officer of MTN, Sam Addo explained, “Going Digital means the removal of everything manual and allowing customers to manage their accounts from one simple interface on their mobile, broadband and MoMo accounts.

Customers can for example buy bundles for their TurboNet, send money with MoMo or pay for things with MoMo Pay: all from one simple app. We are leveraging new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning to provide total automated personalized user experience and self-service options for our customers.”

The ag. CEO, highlighted the investments MTN has made in technology and network infrastructure expansion over the years to provide reliable connections. He said since 2019, about USD 300 million have been put in network investments to facilitate the rollout of more LTE (4G) sites and also upgrade 3G & 2G sites across the country. “These investments have enabled individuals and businesses in both rural and urban areas enjoy the benefits of a modern connected life”, he added.
