He added that with the increased number of mobile money agents and outlets through such partnerships and many others to come, they encourage their current and new mobile money customers to try the new platform that offers quite a range of services at very affordable rates including utility payments.

Additionally, Lonah Kamugisha the head of marketing in PayWay said that the partnership with UTL is in line with their mission to provide the most affordable, secure, easy to use and convenient means dedicated to solving all payment related needs.

“We have a wide network of retailers countrywide who are strategically located at supermarkets, petrol stations, retail shops, restaurants and hotels, and our network is stable and UTL customers will be able to conveniently deposit and withdraw their money. I call upon all current and potential UTL customers to visit any of our outlets and I guarantee that it will be a smooth and flawless transaction experience,” Kamugisha explained.
