MTN National mobile money Managing Director, Faith Chisulo, told the Lusaka star in an interview that MTN had started offering mini bank accounts on mobile phones which enable one to buy airtime, electricity, save and transfer money.

“These Companies will facilitate our services and in turn they will be able to pay their employees’ salaries through Mobile Money Services by use of corporate accounts” she said.

Ms Chisulo disclosed that MTN intends to partner with Shoprite as well as other food places and shopping centres.

She said MTN also intends to go international by linking up with other countries that provide Mobile money services.
