Speaking at the launch ceremony, Benjamin Mutimura, Chief Commercial Officer of BK reiterated that cashless is the way to go. He said: “This is not our first time to do such campaigns that promote cashless transactions. We encourage our clients to use their MasterCard cards whenever making transactions and be eligible for winning these prizes. The more you transact, the higher your chances of winning.” “The security of these cards is assured and they can be used in over two million places country-wide. They also save time. For those without a bank account in BK, get to a nearby branch and open one,” he added. ‘Mu Munyenga na Mastercard’ campaign comes as the government is also encouraging cashless payments in a bid to among others prevent the spread of Covid-19.
