MTN South Africa has partnered with the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) Western Cape and MTN MoMo to expand digital and financial inclusion across the minibus taxi industry.
Under the partnership, SANTACO Western Cape will serve as an MTN enterprise content partner, business prepaid partner and MoMo agent. The arrangement creates opportunities for taxi operators, drivers, rank vendors and surrounding communities to participate more actively in the digital economy.
The collaboration is expected to create additional income-generating opportunities while supporting business growth and increasing the adoption of digital and financial services within the sector.
Through the initiative, MTN aims to extend the benefits of connectivity beyond communication by improving access to digital services for individuals and businesses connected to the minibus taxi industry.
The partnership also highlights the potential of telecommunications and mobile money services to advance financial inclusion and economic empowerment among communities that depend on the transport sector.
