Why MTN Uganda Mobile Money Charges Keep Changing

Based on the business ecosystem, MTN just like Airtel, changes its transaction rates more often. In a like manner, you can stay ahead of these changes by keeping up to date with the latest campaigns and telco commitments.

Commonly, Momo Nyabo – An MTN mobile money promotion, comes with reduced sending fees on top of other enticing offers. But once the campaign lifetime comes to an end, rates shift back to normal.

Hence, based on the telco’s current plans and business atmosphere, expect Mobile Money charges to change. However, mobile money tax of 0.5% on withdraws remains constant as a compulsory norm by the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA).
