Sending money to loved ones in Eswatini is now easier than ever with Mama Money. Whether you're helping with school fees, medical expenses, or sending love during special holidays, our fast, low-fee mobile wallet transfers get your money there without the hassle.
Please note: Your recipient must be a citizen of Eswatini and an existing MTN customer who has already completed FICA verification.
Why Traditional Methods Fall Short
Sending money through banks or retail outlets can be frustrating and expensive. Here are some common issues:
- High Fees: Other services often charge steep fees, which can reduce the amount your family receives.
- Long Queues: Shops and banks often have long lines, especially in rural areas like Nhlangano, Siteki, or Piggs Peak.
- Limited Hours: You can only collect during specific hours—if the shop is closed, you will have to wait.
- Travel Required: Loved ones may have to spend time and money just to get to a collection point.
- Security Risks: Physical cash and paper forms increase the likelihood of fraud and theft.
