Why Mobile Wallets Are a Game-Changer in Zambia

Mobile wallets like MTN Money and Airtel Money have revolutionised how families in Zambia receive and use money. Here's why they're such a powerful tool—especially for people living in rural areas or without access to traditional banking:

Instant Access to Funds

As soon as money is sent through Mama Money, the recipient receives it directly into their mobile wallet. There's no waiting period, and funds are available to use almost immediately.

No Bank Account Needed

One of the biggest advantages of mobile money is that recipients don't need a bank account. In Zambia, many people—especially in rural communities—still don't use traditional banks. Mobile wallets make it easy and safe to store and access money using only a cellphone.

Everyday Convenience

With mobile wallets, recipients can:

  • Pay bills (like electricity and water)
  • Buy airtime or data
  • Make purchases at local shops
  • Send money to others within Zambia

This allows families to use the funds directly for their day-to-day needs without needing to withdraw cash.

Mama Money Partners with MTN and Airtel in Zambia

Sending money to mobile wallets in Zambia is easier than ever, thanks to Mama Money's trusted partnerships with MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money—the two biggest mobile wallet providers in the country.

What You Need to Know: TPIN Requirement

To receive money through a mobile wallet in Zambia, recipients must have a TPIN number. This is an important step to ensure the transfer is compliant with Zambian financial regulations.

What is a TPIN?

A TPIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) is a unique number issued by the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA). It helps identify individuals for tax purposes and is now required to receive cross-border remittances.

Even if your recipient doesn't pay tax, they still need a TPIN to access international funds via mobile wallets.

How to Get a TPIN in Zambia

Getting a TPIN is free and easy:

  1. Online: Recipients can visit the ZRA TPIN portal and apply using their National Registration Card (NRC).
  2. In-person: TPINs can also be issued at any ZRA office nationwide.

Make sure your recipient completes the registration and links the TPIN to their mobile wallet account (MTN or Airtel).
