Uganda’s National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has partnered with telecom firm MTN as it seeks to increase the number of people saving for retirement with the pension scheme.

The partnership is set to benefit mid-size companies that remit less than Ush4 million (about $1,100), which now have the option of sending their contributions through mobile money platform instead of bank deposits.
