MTN Rwanda has entered into a partnership with Kenya Commercial Bank Rwanda to offer a facility that can allow their customers to own a BlackBerry smart phone on loan. The partnership allows MTN customers and KCB eligible account holders to purchase a BlackBerry handset including one year subscription and pay in 12 instalments.
Customers can visit any MTN Service center to pick an invoice for the BlackBerry device of their choice, apply for a KCB loan and thereafter enjoy BlackBerry services.
“We are proud to be working in strategic partnership with KCB Rwanda,” said Khaled Mikkawi, MTN Rwanda’s Chief Executive Officer. “We feel that the combination of the innovation offered by BlackBerry services and the KCB Rwanda customer focus will be a unique and successful partnership.”
He added that the partnership is also in line with MTN Rwanda’s commitment to support the development of Rwanda’s knowledge-based economy, by offering relevant innovations in ICT.
We have seen BlackBerry devices being recommended to and adopted by government agencies in the UK and the US, and now its coming to Africa at consumer level.
