MTN Ghana is urging its millions of Mobile Money users to plan ahead for a six-hour service disruption scheduled for Sunday, August 17, 2025.

The telecommunications giant has announced that all MoMo services will be unavailable from 12:00 am to 6:00 am to allow for a critical system upgrade.

The planned downtime, though temporary, will affect every aspect of the Mobile Money platform, including deposits, withdrawals, person-to-person transfers, and merchant payments.

This poses a significant advisory for Ghana, where MTN Mobile Money has become the primary financial tool for a vast majority of the population, handling billions of cedis in transactions and serving as a key driver of financial inclusion.
