How To Withdraw MTN Mobile Money From ATM In Ghana

Thanks to MTN and all the banks that have made this possible. 

It is now possible to withdraw your MTN mobile money from the ATM.

Ever since the mobile money service was launched ten years ago, it has helped a lot of Ghanaians.

Before mobile money, Ghanaians will have to go through a lot to send money or receive money from someone.

But thanks to mobile money, now sending and receiving money has been easy.

The mobile money service was launched to help people send and receive money, but ever since it was launched, so many features have been added to it, such as paying for bills, and school fees using it to buy movies and plane tickets.

Although Ghanaians were happy mobile money was invented, some found it difficult to withdraw cash at night.

To withdraw mobile money or load your wallet, one will have to visit the nearest mobile money merchant and exchange his physical cash for e-cash. The mobile money merchant will collect the physical money and then send the e-cash to the person’s mobile money number.

But what if you needed money, but it was late, and all these mobile money merchants were closed?

This has happened to a friend before. Around 2:00 am, I saw my phone ringing, and I woke up and picked up the call. A friend told me his sister is not feeling well and has to be taken to the hospital.

Although he has enough money in his mobile money wallet, he needs physical cash with him, and all the mobile money merchants were asleep by that time (it was 2:00 am, lol).

So I told him not to worry because MTN has made it possible to generate a token and withdraw it from the ATM. I told him to visit the nearest bank near him and then took him through how to withdraw his mobile money from the ATM, and within minutes, he had enough cash with him.

That is what you are going to learn today; you might have been in the same situation where you needed physical cash badly, but all the merchants are closed.

So without wasting much time, let me take you through, but before that, you will need to know the banks that MTN mobile money has partnered with. These are the banks where you can withdraw your mobile money from their ATMs
