If you send money from South Africa to Uganda, you know how important it is for the money to get there safely, quickly and without costing too much. Maybe you send something every month to help with school fees or food. Maybe you send once in a while for something special, like a wedding or a hospital bill.
Whatever the reason, it matters. And it should be simple.
That’s what Mama Money is here for. And it’s why more people than ever are choosing Mama Money to send money to Uganda.
Mama Money is not new to Uganda.We’ve grown faster in recent years because we’ve focused on what people really need. That is an easier, safer way to send money to family.
Banks are not always nearby. Queues are long. Paperwork is difficult. So we built something better. We created a service that works from your phone, in minutes, and delivers directly to your loved one’s phone in Uganda.
We did that by working with trusted local partners who help us reach more people, in more places.
Uganda, often called the ‘Pearl of Africa,’ has a growing economy and a thriving community of people working abroad to support families back home. This shows just how vital these international transfers are to everyday life.
But sending money across borders hasn’t always been easy. Traditional options often come with high fees, long wait times and limited payout options, especially in rural areas. Mama Money changes all of that.
Mama Money has built strong partnerships with MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money in Uganda. These are two of the most trusted and widely used mobile wallet services in the country. These partnerships make it possible for your loved ones to receive money instantly, directly on their phones, no matter where they are.
MTN Uganda is one of the country’s largest mobile networks, and its mobile money platform is used by millions. With a vast network of agents, it reaches deep into rural areas, making it easy for recipients to withdraw cash, pay bills or make everyday purchases.
Airtel is another leading provider with widespread coverage across Uganda. Its mobile money service is secure, reliable and accepted by a wide range of local shops and service providers. Whether your family is in Kampala or a remote village, Airtel Money ensures they can access funds when they need them.
For Ugandans, mobile wallets offer more than just convenience. They remove the stress and cost of travelling to the nearest bank, waiting in line or carrying cash home.
Here’s why more people are choosing mobile wallet payouts:
Mama Money’s integration with both MTN and Airtel ensures that your money gets there fast, safely and at a lower cost than many traditional services.
Getting started is easy, and you can do it all from your phone in just a few minutes.
Tip: Make sure the recipient’s mobile wallet hasn’t reached its limit to avoid delays.
If your loved one in Uganda doesn’t yet have a mobile wallet, it’s simple to set one up.
