MoMo active users increased by 9.1% to 66 million as of 30 June, largely driven by growth in Ghana, Uganda and Rwanda.expanded its service offering to include international remittances.

MTN attributed the “robust growth” in its partner lending products to contributions from newly established markets, which it said underpinned the performance.In all, the group’s fintech ecosystem increased transaction volumes by 18% to 9.7 billion in the period and transaction values rose by 8.5% to a staggering $146.6-billion.
