MTN Cameroon has received the highest quality certification on its Mobile Money (MoMo) service, becoming the first telco in the six-nation Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) to be awarded the accolade.

The endorsement known the GSMA Certification signals safer, transparent and reliable means of sending and receiving money by the mobile phone carrier’s users.

In a statement, the telco said that the certification followed “a rigorous, independent assessment” of the reliability of its financial services in December, describing the feat as “a source of pride” for the company.
