PRESS RELEASE

MTN Zambia Mobile Money Limited (MTN MoMo) has expanded its digital payments footprint by enabling customers to pay for goods and services using MoMo on Stanbic Bank Zambia Point of Sale (POS) machines nationwide, marking another important step in broadening access to fast, secure and convenient cashless transactions.

The integration makes Stanbic Bank the fourth banking partner to accept MoMo payments on its POS network, joining First National Bank (FNB Zambia), United Bank For Africa PLC (UBA), Indo Zambia Bank and Zanaco. With this latest addition, MTN MoMo is now the most widely available mobile money payment option across bank POS terminals in Zambia.

The solution enables MTN MoMo customers to make fast, secure and seamless payments at participating merchants by approving transactions on their mobile phones, while merchants receive instant confirmation on Stanbic POS terminals, creating a smoother and more efficient checkout experience for both parties.

Speaking on the launch, MTN MoMo Head Strategy and Business Development, Pafyako Malema Museba, described the partnership as a significant milestone in accelerating digital payment adoption and expanding financial inclusion across Zambia.

"The addition of Stanbic Bank to our growing network of banking partners reinforces our commitment to making MoMo payments available wherever customers choose to transact. With FNB, UBA, IZB, Zanaco and now Stanbic Bank POS terminals accepting MoMo payments, we have significantly expanded payment acceptance points and strengthened MoMo's position as the most widely available mobile money payment option on bank POS infrastructure in Zambia. This is another important step in creating a more inclusive and cash-lite digital economy that benefits both consumers and businesses," said Malema.

Mr Wezi Gondwe, Managing Director of Africa GreenCo / GreenCo Power Services, has described Sanlam Investmentsโ€™ US$10 million investment in GreenCo as a landmark moment for both the company and Africaโ€™s energy transition journey.

Speaking during an exclusive interview with Financial Insight Zambia CEO Mr Mwelwa Chibesakunda in Lusaka, Mr Gondwe said the investment marks the entry of GreenCoโ€™s first commercial institutional investor and the first major African-sourced capital injection into the company. He noted that the development demonstrates growing confidence in GreenCoโ€™s business model and highlights the increasing role African investors can play in addressing the continentโ€™s energy challenges.

Mr Gondwe reflected on GreenCoโ€™s journey over the past several years, during which the company has expanded its operations across Southern Africa with support from development finance institutions. He explained that the partnership with Sanlam represents a significant shift, validating GreenCoโ€™s commercial viability while reinforcing the importance of African capital in financing Africaโ€™s development priorities.

According to Mr. Gondwe, the investment strengthens GreenCoโ€™s balance sheet and provides additional capacity to contract more renewable energy projects across the region. This, he said, will enable the company to accelerate its support for Independent Power Producers (IPPs), facilitate new power generation projects, and contribute to improving regional electricity supply.

He further emphasized that the transaction sends a strong signal to project developers and financiers, demonstrating that innovative energy trading models can attract substantial private-sector investment. The additional capital will help unlock financing opportunities for renewable energy projects while supporting the expansion of regional power markets.

Looking ahead, Mr Gondwe expressed optimism that the deal will encourage greater participation by African investment institutions in the energy sector. He stated that increased African capital, expertise, and leadership will be critical in driving the continentโ€™s energy transition and delivering sustainable, homegrown solutions to Africaโ€™s power challenges.
