WorldRemit and Lonestar Cell MTN have joined forces to create an easy means for their customers to receive international payments. The partnership would allow customers to accept funds directly into their Mobile Money accounts at no cost.
Across Liberia, there are over 7,000 operational Lonestar Cell MTN agent cashpoints. The new initiative from the two companies aims at reducing and, if possible, eliminating the stress and risks involved in queueing in banking halls, especially in these trying times.
‘’Liberians can now accept international payments from friends, families, and business partners in Europe, Canada, the United States and other countries easily,’’ says Christopher Ssail, Acting General Manager of Lonestar Mobile Money.
‘’Our MoMo ecosystem is mature so, customers can use payments received to pay bills, purchase desired products, and to pay for services. This innovation brings us joy. We are glad to provide our customers with services that make their lives easy. Also, the innovation supports the growth of the digital cashless economy proposed by the government.’’
Using the mobile transfer code, which is *156#, customers can withdraw funds, pay for goods and services, and transfer money to another party at the standard charge rate.
