The collaboration also includes a comprehensive bill payment solution to conveniently settle bills across various African countries. The feature provides individuals and businesses with a seamless and efficient method to meet their financial obligations across borders, enhancing convenience and promoting economic growth.

Inbound service is currently available to customers who wish to send money from Uganda and Rwanda. Inbound transfers from other African countries, as well as outbound transfer and bill payment services, will be available to MoMo PSB customers in the coming weeks.
For inbound transfers, MoMo customers in Nigeria will be notified via SMS whenever money is sent to their wallets from countries enlisted, and the local currency equivalent will be credited to their MoMo wallet at the prevailing exchange rate.
