Afriland First Bank Launches Lonestar Cell MTN Push and Pull Services

(Monrovia, Liberia) Afriland First Bank customers can now link their bank accounts to their Lonestar Cell MTN Mobile Money wallets. This seamless connection means these customers can conveniently manage their funds from anywhere in Liberia. 

Afriland First Bank Liberia is a subsidiary of Afriland First Bank Group in Switzerland and opened its doors to the Liberian public in March 2011.    

Leopold Mbumen, Afriland First Bank Chief Information Officer, said their customers primarily work in the agricultural sector and are located in rural Liberia.  

“We integrated Lonestar Cell MTN’s Mobile Money Push and Pull services as a part of our business plan because we wanted to provide our customers financial convenience,” said Mr. Mbumen.   

In addition, he said that mobile money is now fully automated on their platform.      

“Previously, we manually served each customer account to the mobile money platform.  Now it’s a seamless process,” said Mr. Mbumen.  

Christopher Ssali, Mobile Financial Services General Manager, said, “Together, we are giving Afriland First Bank customers convenient access to their money.  In just a few easy steps, they can withdraw or deposit money from their MoMo wallets. Once the money is in the wallet, the customer can make purchases, pay bills, and more whenever and wherever they need to.”
