How to check Ghana’s MTN Limits 2022

Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) is Ghana's leading mobile telecommunications services provider. It currently has over 50 percent of Ghana’s total subscriber base. MTN offers its subscribers different exciting options under Pay Monthly and Pay as You Go Services.

MTN’s Mobile Money (MoMo) platform is one of the safest mobile wallets in Ghana, where clients can make payments, pay bills, and transfer money. MTN’s Mobile Money service is controlled and regulated by the Bank of Ghana.

MTN Momo Limits

Thanks to the unparalleled service of MTN, Ghana has experienced a massive adoption of mobile money, bringing to light the need to ensure the safety of customers’ money. MTN, together with the Bank of Ghana, which controls and regulates its Mobile Money service, provided various measures to ensure customer fund safety.

The Bank of Ghana implemented limitations on the MoMo service based on their license and other security reasons. Thus, in early 2022, MTN announced their Mobile Money services limits. What do these limits mean to MTN MoMo subscribers? It means there’s a limit to how much subscribers can transfer or receive in their MTN account within a day or a month.

These limitations are grouped into two tiers, and a subscriber’s limit will depend on what tier s/he belongs to.

Types of MTN Mobile Money Limits

For Tier 1 customers:

Daily limit: 2,000 GHS
Monthly limit: 20,000 GHS
Total balance limit: 10,000 GHS

For Tier 2 customers:

Daily limit: 5,000 GHS
Monthly limit: 50,000 GHS
Total balance limit: 20,000 GHS

Note:

The daily and monthly limits refer to the total amount of money you can send or receive through your mobile money account. On the other hand, the total balance limit refers to the highest amount of money you can have in your MTN MoMo account at any given time.
