In a move to tackle the inconvenience of being cash-strapped during emergencies, Afrimoney, Sierra Leone’s fastest-growing mobile money platform, has introduced a groundbreaking service called ‘Sen fo Mi.’ This latest addition to Afrimoney’s portfolio was launched on Thursday, January 22, 2025, promising to provide a swift and convenient solution for subscribers in urgent need of financial assistance.
The reality of being caught without cash can be distressing, whether it’s being unable to pay for medical treatment at a hospital, struggling to settle a fare in a ‘Kehkeh’ (tricycle) or failing to recharge an EDSA electricity meter during a critical moment. These are everyday challenges many Sierra Leoneans face, but Afrimoney’s ‘Sen fo Mi’ service offers a practical way to address such situations.
The service allows Afrimoney subscribers to request financial assistance from friends and family members with just a few simple steps. By dialing the short code 1611*3# from their Africell number, users can enter the phone number of the person they are requesting money from, specify the amount, state the reason for the request, input their PIN, and click ‘SEND’.
The recipient of the request has the option to accept and respond or decline, offering a safe and hassle-free way to provide or receive financial support during emergencies.
Speaking at the launch, Afrimoney’s Director of Marketing, John Konteh, emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation and improving the lives of its customers.
“We are dedicated to introducing products and services that not only enhance mobile money transactions but also foster a sense of community and improve the quality of life for our subscribers. With Afrimoney, we are shaping the future of mobile payments in Sierra Leone”, he said.
John Konteh further assured the public that Afrimoney will continue to revolutionize the mobile money landscape with cutting-edge solutions tailored to meet the needs of its growing customer base.
With the introduction of ‘Sen fo Mi,’ Afrimoney reaffirms its position as a leader in mobile money innovation, providing Sierra Leoneans with a reliable tool to navigate financial emergencies and support one another when it matters most.
