MTN MoMoFest Storms Kumasi with Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Concert

 


MobileMoney Limited, a subsidiary of MTN Ghana, is set to thrill customers in Kumasi as the MoMo Festival (MoMoFest) makes its stop at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium tomorrow with an electrifying Rapperholic Concert headlined by award-winning rapper Sarkodie.

The MoMo Festival, which has been running in different parts of the country, is designed to deepen financial inclusion, raise awareness about MoMo fraud prevention, and showcase how mobile money can make everyday transactions easier and more rewarding.

Alfred Hammond, SeniorManager, Fintech Marketing, MobileMoney LTD explained that MoMoFest is more than just an entertainment event. He said MoMoFest is a movement to make financial services accessible, relatable, and rewarding for all, while educating the public on how to stay safe from fraudsters.

Tomorrow’s event features a Cashless Market and Fair where over 50 vendors will offer goods and services to patrons who can conveniently pay with MoMo. There will also be fun activities including the MoMo Keteke, drama performances, a game show, and the grand Artiste Night in partnership with Sarkcess Music. In Kumasi, the climax will be the Rapperholic concert, which promises an exciting line-up of artistes to entertain patrons.

Entry to the cashless fair is free, and all that is required is for customers to download the MoMo app. For the Rapperholic concert, tickets can be secured by referring friends through the app. Customers who refer five friends will receive two regular tickets, while those who refer twenty friends will receive two VIP tickets. MTN has also arranged transportation for 100 winners from Accra to join the event in Kumasi.

Hammond reminded the public to stay alert during the festive period by observing the three golden rules of MoMo: never disclose your PIN, never allow strangers to transact on your behalf, and remember that official MTN/MoMo calls only come from 0244300000. He cautioned customers against falling for scams such as MoMo Capital investment offers, stressing that details of all legitimate MTN promotions and activities can be confirmed on the official social media handles. Fraud cases, he added, can be reported via *170# or to mmfraudteam@mtn.com.gh.

He assured customers that the MoMo platform remains very secure, and fraudsters can only succeed if customers grant them access through phone calls, text messages, or suspicious links.

MoMoFest in Kumasi is being organized in partnership with MTN Enterprise Business, aYo Insurance, GCB Bank PLC, FNB Bank, and Sarkcess Music. The two-day celebration kicks off tomorrow, September 27, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium with the cashless fair, climaxing with the Rapperholic Concert.

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
