MTN MoMo Uganda is breaking new ground with its “Power to Be Borderless” Promo, a campaign that not only introduces cross-border payments between Uganda and Tanzania but also unveils a strategic remittance partnership with Dubai Duty Free. Launched on September 25, 2025, at Nakivubo Stadium in Kampala, this initiative is designed to make financial transactions seamless, secure, and rewarding, connecting Ugandans to opportunities at home and abroad while advancing financial inclusion.

The “Power to Be Borderless” Promo incentivizes cross-border transactions with exciting rewards for both senders and receivers. Those sending money to Uganda through MTN MoMo’s remittance partners can win fully paid trips, while recipients in Uganda are eligible for shopping vouchers worth 200,000 shillings, gift hampers, and other prizes. Each transaction automatically enters users into a randomized draw, with more transactions increasing the chances of winning. The campaign runs through the end of 2025, with winners announced via MTN’s official website and social media channels.
Keith Tukei, MTN MoMo’s Chief Commercial Officer, emphasized the campaign’s significance at the launch: “Our goal is to simplify financial services for our customers. The ‘Power to Be Borderless’ campaign empowers Ugandans to connect with loved ones and business opportunities across borders with ease and confidence. Every secure, fast transaction also brings users closer to exciting rewards.” He further noted that the initiative aligns with MTN’s mission to drive financial inclusion, enabling families, traders, professionals, and the diaspora to participate in the economy without barriers.
The newly launched cross-border payment feature allows seamless money transfers between Uganda and Tanzania, while the partnership with Dubai Duty Free expands remittance options, making it easier for the Ugandan diaspora to send money home. To participate, senders abroad use MTN MoMo’s remittance partners, and receivers in Uganda accept funds via their MoMo wallets. MTN MoMo ensures security and transparency, warning customers that no payment is required to claim prizes.
This campaign is part of MTN’s broader “Power to Be More” platform, which focuses on digital and financial empowerment through innovative tools and services. By combining cross-border functionality with tangible rewards, MTN MoMo is not only enhancing financial connectivity but also positioning itself as a trusted partner in Uganda’s evolving digital economy.
