MTN Rwanda has entered into a joint partnership with KCB Rwanda to offer a facility that can allow their customers to own a BlackBerry\u00ae smart phone on loan.}}<\/p>\n
The partnership allows MTN customers and KCB eligible account holders to purchase a BlackBerry\u00ae handset including one year subscription and pay in 12 instalments. <\/p>\n
Customers can visit any MTN Service center to pick an invoice for the BlackBerry\u00ae device of his\/her choice, apply for a KCB loan and thereafter enjoy BlackBerry\u00ae services. <\/p>\n
KhaledMikkawi, MTN Rwanda\u2019s Chief Executive Officer said that, \u201cWe are proud to be working in strategic partnership with KCB Rwanda and we feel that the combination of the innovation offered by BlackBerry\u00ae services and the KCB Rwanda customer focus will be a unique and successful partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the partnership is also in line with MTN Rwanda\u2019s commitment to support the development of Rwanda\u2019s knowledge-based economy, by offering relevant innovations in ICT. <\/p>\n
According to KCB Rwanda\u2019s Managing Director Maurice K. Toroitich, since Rwanda\u2019s banking industry is at a competitive crossroad, building partnerships with a company like MTN Rwanda as a new contender in the financial industry would facilitate a new form of competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsumer banking will only accelerate if services offered by financial institutions like KCB converge with services and products offered by leading telecom players like MTN Rwanda. Telecom companies are now offering services like Mobile Money, which are contenders in our industry. So in order to create meaningful competition we prefer to build partnerships,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
