Mobile money is a digital, pay-as-you-go financial service that facilitates the exchange and storage of funds through user accounts. This service is provided in collaboration with mobile network operators and traditional banking networks and doesn’t necessitate individual bank accounts. Users can access a wide range of services, including check deposits and balance inquiries, all while enjoying a secure user interface for quick transactions. Mobile money supports the tracking of transaction history and promotes location-based payments, making it a preferred choice in both rural and urban areas of Uganda.
