"Our partnership with Skrill is another important step in our journey to offer customers the ability to use mobile money for online purchases. Through this partnership, the company is enabling global digital payments, further enhancing our mobile money wallet. After Ivory Coast and Rwanda, the service will be extended to Benin and Uganda, with other markets to follow soon thereafter," says Pieter Verkade, MTN Group Chief Commercial Officer.
To transact using mobile money, MTN customers do not have to open a Skrill account. Users can simply go to the website of a Skrill merchant, select a purchase and choose the option to 'Pay by Skrill'.
