Not long ago, MTN Ghana announced to use of identification cards for the withdrawals of cash from our MTN Mobile Money wallets. That means, whenever you want to withdraw money from your MTN Mobile Money wallet, you will have to provide an identification card; Voter’s ID, Ghana Card, NHIS, Driver’s License or Passport booklet — before withdrawal process can go through.
Announcing of the ID Card for MTN MoMo withdraw began in early January, prompting all MTN Ghana subscribers to be aware of the notice from the Mobile Telecommunication Network. MTN Ghana declared that, from 1st February 2021, you may go out to any MoMo agent with your National Valid ID Card for your Cash out transaction.
MTN Ghana waited for the rolling of the ‘No ID, No Cash’ policy in February and rolled it out in 2nd April. The term for the policy goes by, “#No ID Card, #No Cash Out”.
