A beautiful Ghanaian lady has taken to social media to vent her angst about the behaviour of some MTN Mobile Money (Momo) vendors.
The lady, identified as Nessa on her socials, said Momo agents have deliberately devised clever ways to charge high transaction fees from customers.

According to Nessa, some of the MTN Momo vendors are now asking customers who want to withdraw bigger amounts to do so in tranches.
For example, she said, if a customer wishes to withdraw GH¢5,000, the Momo vendors would ask them to do it in five tranches of GH¢1,000, charging GH¢10 on each transaction.
"The most annoying thing of all of them is that, now when you go, they don't want to even withdraw the money for you. They tell you that they can only withdraw 2k so that you end up paying GH¢20, GH¢20," she said.
"So if you are taking out GH¢10,000, you are paying GH¢100 minus your charges. Please what is going on MTN?" she asked.
Nessa has consequently asked MTN, the telecom company that birthed mobile money transactions, to either explain what is going on or call their vendors to order.
