“We are privileged to inform our Road users that today, we are launching the first option in Partnership with MTN Uganda.”

Commenting on the update, the General Manager of EGIS that is managing the Kampala-Entebbe Expressway, Mr. Yavuz Cagatay said:

“This update will not only ease the Upesi card recharge exercise but also make it convenient and easy for the road users to reload their Upesi cards from any place and not come to our points of sale which was hectic for them. This mobile money option is only available for the Upesi card users.”

Speaking at the launch of the MTN Mobile Money Upesi card top-up, Richard Yego, the Managing Director of MTN Mobile Money Limited said that: “The partnership between MTN Mobile Money and UNRA will facilitate safe and convenient fee top-ups on the Upesi card that allows motorists to access passage on the Entebbe Express highway.
