The MyMTN app has been in existence since 2015, and has over the years continued to gather more downloads, with now about 70,000 downloads and a significant number of them being active users. The success of the app is for MTN continuing to see more downloads and usability. The most important aspect of the platform is that it has evolved into a self-service platform used for both MTN Mobile Money and other MTN services like purchasing airtime and data bundles.
The new design is for the customer experience that needs to be improved at every opportunity. MTN has redesigned the experience and given the App a fresh and modern new look, all based on the feedback from customers and the market.
MTN intends to lead her customers into a Bold New Digital World by enabling customers to self-serve or report issues without disrupting their daily routine. Customers in some instances have to memorize USSD codes for loading airtime, data bundles, calling bundles like MyPakaPaka and checking airtime balance.
