Over six million Vodacom Tanzania M-Pesa
customers will from today receive a profit distribution accumulated
through M-Pesa Trust Accounts, the firm announced.
All M-Pesa users will from today benefit
from the interest earned from these deposits and will continue to
benefit from this arrangement every quarter thereafter.
To start with, 20bn/- will be deposited
in the wallets of customers who have been with the company since the
inception of the service up to September 2014.
All stakeholders from the M-Pesa supply
chain -- super agents, retail agents, and individual customers -- will
benefit from this distribution.
The M-Pesa Trust is held in commercial
banks and it keeps all the funds that M-Pesa users deposit in their
M-Pesa accounts. Mr Rene Meza, Vodacom Tanzania’s Managing Director
said, “Our customers have made M-Pesa the success story of our times and
we thank them for their loyalty.
M-Pesa has transformed the lives of many Tanzanians and through today’s initiative many more will continue to benefit from it.
“From today, we will deposit in our
M-Pesa customers’ wallets a portion of the interest earned from the
Trust accounts since 2004.
To begin with, we will distribute 20bn/-
to over 6 million customers, retail agents and super agents and we
shall do so every quarter henceforth.”
He added: “The amount that one would
receive as their profit share will depend on the level of activity on
their M-Pesa wallet and the length of time they have been customers.
Such activities include transfers, bill payments and airtime purchases
to name but a few.
I would like to encourage our customers
to continue utilizing our M-Pesa service in order to benefit from future
distributions of profit. To find out how much you will receive, SMS the
word AMOUNT to 15300.”
