The first mobile money service in South Sudan m-GURUSH has launched. A product of a joint partnership between South Sudan’s Trinity Technologies and Zain Telecoms South Sudan, the mobile money service was issued a license by both the Bank of South Sudan and the National Communication Authority of South Sudan.
Speaking on the launch of the financial service, Mr. Joseph Arinaitwe, Vice President at Trinity Technologies said, “We are not just launching a brand name today. The m-GURUSH money mobile commerce platform presents a complete transformation from your first interaction with it, which is a simple, easy to use customer friendly access menu that makes it fast and convenient for customers and dealers to carry out transactions. The platform provides consumers with a robust offering of products that cut across, Service Payments, Airtime top-up, and money transfer services.”
As part of features of the mobile money service, customers will not only have access to an account but to a complete package of financial services according to m-GURUSH.
A statement by m-GURUSH reads, “For South Sudan’s most vulnerable, especially displaced persons and women, the benefits of mobile money are real and far-reaching. m-GURUSH will actively pursue partnerships with the Government and humanitarian organizations to ensure ease of access to affordable financial services. We will work closely with our network partner and the Government in reaching Small and Medium Enterprises and the underserved population, including female customers with relevant and tailored products and services.”
