Payments are a necessity for both individuals and businesses. The need to make payments is perhaps the one thing all customers have in common. Daily, individuals and businesses pay utility bills such as electricity, cable TV and mobile subscriptions.
While most people prefer cash payments, it is not a practical option. Nonetheless, even credit cards have their limitations. How many times have you completed a transaction, handed over your card to pay, and received the message “Declined” Or “network unavailable”?
This is why MoMo Bill Payment has simplified a lot of bill services for you! So, instead of carrying cash around or stressing over credit cards, you can simply pay bills using the MoMo PSB app or USSD code. MoMo Bill Payment services are convenient and efficient, with features guaranteed to keep your funds secure.
To further help you understand what MoMo Bill Payment is, and how it works, this article has all the information you need. Let’s get started!
What is MoMo Bill Payment?
MoMo Bill Payment is one of the convenient services offered by MoMo PSB, a mobile banking platform that offers financial solutions to merchants, fintech companies, banks, financial institutions, digital service providers and other organisations. It offers an easy, safe and inexpensive way to ensure that all your bills are paid from the comfort of your homes or offices.
MoMo Bill Payment allows customers to carry out transactions such as renewing subscriptions, buying prepaid electricity, travel bills, school fees, making payments through MoMoPay and collections, and so much more. The goal of MoMo Bill Payment is to drive financial inclusion in Nigeria, by providing safe and accessible money transfer services to millions of unbanked and underserved Nigerians.

Make Payments through Collections. Enable remote collection of bills, fees or taxes.
It is convenient: With MoMo Bill Payment, you have all the tools needed to manage and make bill payments, at both individual and business levels. From the convenience of just one app, paying your bills is super easy. You can conveniently pay electricity, cable TV, betting, and loan collection bills to specific vendors. This also saves you time with all your bills appearing in one place rather than logging into multiple websites or apps.
Super easy to use: You can sign up quickly and start making bill payments in just 15 minutes. MoMo Bill Payment’s APIs are seamless, uncomplicated, and currently optimizable to give you the best experience.
Keep your funds secure: With online banking, it is only normal to be skeptical. However, MoMo Bill Payment is committed to safeguarding the information and funds of its customers, from malicious actors. It makes use of the best security protocols to keep your transactions secure, information safe and data hidden during transactions. This is achieved through the activation of security measures such as real-time monitoring, and advanced data privacy tools.
Promotes financial inclusion: MoMo Bill Payment makes use of technology and agency banking to mobilise bill payments and transfers from unbanked consumers in rural regions and any other location in Nigeria. That is, it makes it easy for people in rural and remote areas of the country who remain excluded from the financial system, to easily pay bills.

Following the incredible success of the inaugural competition last year, KPMG again called on tech innovators across the continent to bring their innovations to the table with the aim of not only highlighting new technology breakthroughs that transform and revolutionize businesses in diverse industries, but to identify those businesses truly leading the pack.
After a four-month long competition, KPMG Private Enterprise has announced the winner of their Tech Innovator in Africa Awards where iiDENTIFii took the top spot, followed closely by Chekkit Technologies Inc in second place and Troygold in third place.
iiDENTIFii stood out this year, given their level of innovation and disruption, long term potential (there are broad application opportunities for their solution) and the quality of their pitch.
iiDENTIFii will go on to compete in the global event taking place in Lisbon, Portugal in November 2022. The global competition is made up of 20 countries across key economies globally and while each region runs their own competition, the global platform allows for various players across the world to pitch their businesses’ products and services and be recognised for leading tech innovation and business model excellence, judged by a panel of local and global industry experts.
“The entire iiDENTIFii team is honoured to have won this prestigious competition. We’ve been inspired by all the world-class innovators who were in the running throughout Africa,”
said Lance Fanaroff, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of iiDENTIFii.
“As Africa’s representative for the global finals, we’re determined to make our continent proud when we compete on the global stage, at the Web Summit 2022 in Lisbon in November.”
“Our team has worked hard to make innovation a consistent thread throughout the business, and we are grateful for KPMG’s commitment to tech trailblazers.”
Africa is ripe with innovation and this competition truly showcases Africa’s leading tech innovators on a local and global scale – demonstrating the impact that the fastest-growing tech innovators are having across the globe.
“We opened the competition in February this year and had an overwhelming response with 159 applications from across the continent – almost double compared to the number of applications received last year. This demonstrates not only the growing tech innovation in Africa but indicates the appetite for African tech businesses to be recognised and scale their operations for the greater good of the continent and its people,”
said Alan Barr, Partner and Head of Private Enterprise at KPMG.
“It was great to see the shift in innovations this year and how African businesses have used the challenges of the past two years to truly define their strategies and ensure they have adapted to what the market wants and needs,”
According to insider report, Umidigi will soon unveil the latest iteration of its rugged Bison Series. The flagship rugged BISON 2 series (BISON 2 and BISON 2 PRO) will be launched alongside two entry-level stylish phones to meet market demand. We can confirm that the two smartphones will be named the Umidig C1 and Umidigi G1, respectively.
The leaked renderings of the Bison 2 shows a break away from the previous design’s intransigent design, providing an eye-catching, fingerprint-resistant back. It appears distinct and strong from all angles, blending durability and chicness. BISON 2 PRO, on the other hand, maintains its traditional back design – industrial rubber material for extensive and durable protection. It can also be seen that the BISON 2 series’ standard camera setup includes a triple camera, with higher resolution than its predecessor, although it remains to be determined.
In the front, BISON 2 has been upgraded compared to its forebear. It no longer uses the water drop design, rather opting for the currently popular dot-in display, which provides a wider field of vision and a stronger visual experience.
UMIDIGI C1 bears a striking similarity with F3 series in appearance, although the G1 is just like A13 series. They have novel finishes with matte dazzling textured and three colour options. We conjecture that they are exactly the low configuration models of F3 series and A13 series, but the names have changed, although we do not know the reason. Their chins are thicker and bezels are thinner on waterdrop screens, which seems to corroborate our presumption.
As shown in the images, C1 and G1 are equipped with dual cameras clearly, and the specific parameters are estimated to be slightly lower, but they still meet daily needs.
It’s said UMIDIGI has decided that BISON 2 will be launched together with C1 and G1. As for the release time, there are rumors that it will be in the middle of June or the end of June.
Seeing the overall design of BISON 2, do you have any further understanding of its configuration? The brand has a specs-guessing giveaway on its official Facebook. Meanwhile, UMIDIGI’s global giveaway on the official website is still going on. If you are interested, follow them to get more information and activities as soon as possible.

2 March 2022, London, UK: Ckrowd, Africa’s most preferred and premium content streaming platform, has announced today the opening of a new digital entertainment branch, the Ckrowd Studios. Ckrowd Studios will allow content creators and content enterprises to leverage Ckrowd’s digital tools, innovation and the digital marketplace to earn revenue for their Live & On-Demand creations.
Ckrowd will provide premium distribution and monetization services to film and content producers that deliver great quality in content, but often find other studios and traditional cinema models challenging for their content goals.
Ckrowd Studios, a private enterprise driven and a business-to-business initiative between Ckrowd and independent producers across Africa & Diaspora, will offer content producers and creators a digital cinema format to release and distribute exclusively their creation, both to local and global audiences.
Ckrowd will provide its secure and scalable digital infrastructure to power Ckrowd Studios, deepening its connection and relationships with its audiences worldwide. Using the Studios will also enable digital creatives to make smarter business decisions, and connect to their audiences anywhere, while also enabling access to business insights and monetisation using data analytics and geo-localisation. Furthermore, film producers and creators will be able to receive foreign exchange earnings for their locally, but quality crafted and produced TV and film content.
Live or On-Demand content are co-created and formatted together with the Ckrowd Production & Marketing team. The team of experts at Ckrowd will then formulate ad-hoc integrated marketing and distribution plans, which will be supported by Ckrowd marketing innovative tools to drive paid viewership and revenue to the content via the website at www.ckrowd.com.
This Digital Cinema formula will produce and offer audiences many original and well-produced content, that are often overlooked in the global market due to the many intricacies and bureaucratic processes behind other studios and global entertainment companies that cannot fully grasp how to effectively reach local audiences and the Diaspora.
The entertainment platform will feature English speaking films, but also some in local languages, including Yoruba, which will be produced by entertainment mavericks who have just been signed to Ckrowd Sudios, such as Adeleye Fabusoro, CEO of Rare Edge Media, and Ola Abraham Emmauel of Owambe Productions, creators of Bro Code (TV Series) starring Adedimeji Lateef, Baaj Adebule.
Furthermore, Ckrowd Studios will help to accelerate cultural integration within the film and content creation industries by supporting and connecting producers across East, West & Southern African regions and bringing their films to distributor and consumer audiences across the continent and global audience for better distribution and funding.
Karine Barclais, founder of Cannes Pavillon Afrique commented:
“All these initiatives make Ckrowd a rallying point and a go-to for African and Diaspora film creators”
“We believe that Ckrowd Studios will be a winning solution for talented producers and production houses seeking to drive profit for their content, including Live or On-Demand film, TV series, short films, documentary, educational series, music videos and more, “
said Kayode Adebayo, CEO of Ckrowd.
“Viewers will also enjoy and be able to consume a vast array of content options for a small fee using Pay-Per-View options, which will simply mean they do not have to pay any fees for content they are not interested in, which is what the subscription payment encourages. In this manner, consumers can seek for tailored content about Africa and the Diaspora across the different verticals such as fashion, music, gastronomy, history, folklore, languages, culture, mythology, literature and more and not be tied to a huge archive and library of superfluous content that might not interest them, through the specific subscription payment model.”
He continued
“By leveraging Ckrowd Studios and its technology, distribution, marketing, ad sales platforms, capital support, expertise and monetisation, producers, directors and content creators alike will seamlessly build and enhance their reach and revenue worldwide.”
Ckrowd intends to become the biggest content and concept company for Africa and Diaspora Content, complete with production and financing opportunities for Content Producers.
