Warid Telecom in Uganda has launched its own money transfer service, called WaridPesa, and it will allow users to transfer funds to other users, no matter which network they are on.
“The technology revolution is transforming Uganda’s population in a profound way and this is leading to economic development,” said minister for ICT Dr Ruhakana Rugunda.
Warid’s Chief Commercial Officer Shailendra Naidu added that it’s a great way for users to send money to other users. “Not only will it provide another choice, it is an easy, convenient and quick money transfer service across all networks,” he said.
“To register, customers have to visit a WaridPesa outlet with a passport photo and a copy of their identity card. The activation of the account is instant and the client can make transactions immediately,” noted The Observer.
