From this Wednesday, 1st September, Moza Banco customers will be able to make multiple money transfers in a single operation to Movitel’s electronic wallet, e-Mola. The information was made public moments after the signing of an interoperability protocol, through which customers from both entities will be able to move their money in a simple, fast and secure way, at any time and from anywhere in the country.

The service launched will allow transactions to be made between Moza and e-Mola users through the channels Moza Já (*247#), Moza Mobile, Moza NET and AZAPP (WhatsApp Banking), and e-Mola through USSD *898# or the e-Mola App.  This feature will allow customers to pay for utilities (Water, Internet, TV), buy mobile top-ups and Credelec electricity, and make payments to individuals.

For Moza Banco’s CEO, Manuel Soares, this is a partnership that meets the needs of the current situation, "We are a Mozambican bank, concerned with the welfare of Mozambicans. Today we are bringing another service that will give added value to our customers. With this agreement, our customers and those using e-Mola can carry out transactions in a simple, convenient and secure manner. This is another firm step we are taking towards a greater digitalisation of financial services, bringing them ever closer to citizens, making them more accessible and comprehensive, thereby contributing to greater financial inclusion."

Likewise, Movitel’s Board Chairman highlighted during his speech the fact that Movitel remains the only mobile operator available in a large part of the districts where Moza is also the only formal financial institution present, "therefore this agreement between e-Mola and Moza, is a clear sign of our commitment to financial inclusion in the country while also coming in response to demand from our customers. So we will continue to expand our services to all Mozambican citizens", Victor Luis Timoteo said.

It should be recalled that e-Mola is the second largest electronic wallet in the country, with over 1.6 million users and a notable growth in recent times. With this agreement, Moza becomes the first bank to implement the interoperability service with all the main electronic wallets in the country.

Moza Banco recently donated hygiene kits to the districts of Zumbu, Magoé and Marávia in Tete province, as part of the fight against Covid-19, in addition to agricultural inputs and fishing equipment for local Associations.

With this initiative, the Bank intends to contribute to the balanced development of the three districts, as well as to improve living conditions in these communities.  Likewise, the donation will help to guarantee the increase of production, productivity and family income, ensuring sustainability for farmers and for their savings.

On the occasion, the CEO of Moza Banco, Manuel Soares, highlighted that the donation falls within the scope of its social responsibility policy that foresees the implementation of actions that promote the development and well-being of the communities where the Bank operates.

"We decided to join the efforts of the Secretary of State of the Province, supporting the districts of Zumbu, Magoé and Marávia in the prevention and protection against COVID-19. We have also delivered agricultural inputs and fishing equipment to local associations, promoting greater food security on the one hand, while also promoting fishing activity and income generation capacity in the region. We do so because we are sensitive to the real problems and limitations of our population and, above all, because we want to be part of their solution, actively contributing to the inclusive and sustained development of the country."

The Secretary of State in Tete Province, Elisa Zacarias, welcomed the initiative from Moza Banco, emphasising, “this action will help firstly with Covid-19 prevention, as was well alluded to, since the masks, buckets and soap given will contribute to the individual protection and hygiene of our population. Meanwhile, the seeds, motor pumps and fishing nets will contribute to an increase in agricultural and fishing production, thus improving food security and income for families”.

The social responsibility action follows the inauguration of the first bank branch in the district of Zumbu, Tete province. The event was led by the President Filipe Nyusi, and was attended by staff from the Presidency and from Moza Banco.

On Tuesday, 17th of August, Moza Banco, through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Action, delivered several items of IT equipment to 22 social units (state and private) that provide social assistance to children in need, elderly people, young people removed from the streets and to disadvantaged populations. The donated material will benefit around 800 users in all of the country's provinces.

The donation consists of 226 items of miscellaneous equipment comprising 76 desktop computers, monitors, servers, routers, 50 printers and 100 keyboards. Moza’s intervention falls within the scope of its social responsibility policy and is part of the efforts that the bank has been undertaking to minimize the suffering of the people that need it most.

Speaking moments after receiving the equipment, Chico Almajane, Director of Planning and Cooperation at the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Action, said that “having this material will bring added value because it will contribute to the improvement of the services provided to vulnerable people”.

Meanwhile, the Director at Moza Banco, Manuel Guimarães, highlighted the following “With this action that we have just witnessed, we have been able to reach various entities and help them in their missions of supporting the communities, giving new life to materials that had remained unused at Moza Banco, but which can be of great use to others. This in fact is a way of combating waste and promoting reuse, fully in line with our sustainability policies as a Mozambican bank that is always ready to help other Mozambicans”.

“Moza Banco is a bank that shows its concern to support, whenever it can, particularly in times of crisis such as these", Manuel Guimarães said.
