MTN customers to present ID cards for momo cash-out transactions

MTN MoMo has announced that effective April 2, Friday, all MoMo customers will be required to present valid ID cards before any MoMo cash-out (withdrawal) transaction can be processed. 

As a result of this directive, all MoMo agents will be required to select the ID type and enter the ID card number presented by the customer before the transaction can be completed.

Without a valid ID card, MoMo transactions cannot be processed.  Customers are expected to present any of the following ID cards -Ghana Card, Driving License, Passport, Voter’s ID, and NHIS.

The General Manager of MobileMoney Limited, Eli Hini commenting on this said, “The enforcement of this directive apart from being a regulatory requirement will also complement efforts being taken by MTN MoMo to curb MoMo fraud in the country.

“MobileMoney Limited remains committed in the fight against MoMo fraud and will continue to implement measures that will make the service safer.”

The request for ID card for MoMo transactions is not a new requirement.

It has been part of the service offering from start and is strictly enforced at MTN branch Offices or Service Centers nationwide.
