Kalua said mobile banking is more accessible and easy to use especially for people in rural areas.

He also recommended that mobile money transfer services should be more established in rural areas where banking facilities are hard to find.

“It could be better and recommended if the mobile networks extended their services and made them more accessible across the country more especially in rural areas,” he said.

Kalua also admired the good job that the mobile services providers are so far doing saying it is sign of development.

He added that the establishment of mobile money transfer services has been a chain to connect people in rural and urban areas.
