Understanding the Refreshed MyMTN App

The most important aspect of the platform is that has evolved into a self-service platform. It is used for both MTN Mobile Money and other MTN services like purchasing airtime and data bundles.

The change is for the customer experience that needs to be improved at every opportunity. We have redesigned the experience and given the App a fresh and modern new look.
Based on the feedback from customers and market, we have also improved the functionality features of the app.
Some of the services on the MyMTN App like ‘How to load a badly scratched Voucher’, ‘Reporting issues to Customer Service’, etc were previously sorted out using the Customer Care line. What is your strategic intent with having such services on the MyMTN App?
We are leading our customers into a Bold New Digital World. By introducing this functionality in the App we are enabling customers to self-serve or report issues without disrupting their day today. Our customers in some instances have to memorize USSD codes for loading airtime, data bundles, calling bundles like MyPakaPaka and checking airtime balance.
