Kakeeto further emphasized that XtraCash would deliver convenience and support the bank’s purpose. “Millions of Ugandans rely on mobile money for daily transactions, and this product extends vital financial support,” he added.

Richard Yego, MTN MoMo’s Chief Executive, noted that XtraCash reinforces the company’s commitment to driving financial inclusion. “We’re providing reliable, secure, and easy-to-use financial solutions to millions of Ugandans,” he said.
