About The MTN 2022 Hack MoMo to success Competition

MTN MoMo is a fintech platform that provides innovative digital financial services to consumers and businesses. It provides users with access to payment, e-commerce, insurance, lending, and remittance services, among other things, and is available in 17 African markets.

We want to stimulate economic growth by providing financial and digital solutions to individuals and businesses of all sizes. We want to build a marketplace that supports cashless and digital economies by providing affordable, inclusive, understandable, and comprehensive financial services as we expand our service offering. By providing in-store payments, remittances, prepaid services, mobile wallets, micro-loans, and micro-insurance, we play an important role in the evolution of mobile financial services (MFS) to mobile financial (fintech) platforms.

Partnerships with financial service providers, regulatory authorities, other mobile network operators, merchants, distributors, businesses, technology providers, entrepreneurs, and developers are required to bridge the financial services gap in the markets in which MTN operates. MTN improves the economic and social well-being of millions of Africans by collaborating with its partners.

MTN Group has made its Mobile Money platform available across its entire footprint through the MoMo API program as part of its commitment to closing the financial inclusion gap.

MTN is now looking for companies, entrepreneurs, and developers from all over the continent to help them innovate and use mobile money to accelerate financial inclusion and digitize payments. MTN is excited to invite developers and entrepreneurs from ten different countries to take part in the MoMo API Hackathon.
