How to increase MTN Mobile Money Transaction Limit online
Mobile money has become an essential part of daily life for many people across Africa. MTN Mobile Money, in particular, has millions of users in several African countries who rely on it for quick, secure financial transactions.
MTN imposes transaction limits on Mobile Money accounts to mitigate risk. While useful, these low limits can be inconvenient when you need to send or receive large amounts of money. Thankfully, MTN allows you to easily increase your transaction limit online.
Why Increase Your Transaction Limit?
Make large purchases
The standard limits may be too low for big-ticket items. Increasing your limit lets you pay conveniently via Mobile Money.
Receive large amounts
You may need to receive payments above the limit for work/services rendered. A higher limit enables you to get the full amount in one transaction.
Money transfers
Standard limits may not suffice when transferring money to multiple people. Raising your limit lets you send cash to many recipients in a single session.
Business transactions
Companies relying on Mobile Money for payments and transfers require much higher limits.
