TIGO RWANDA - Kigali

Tigo is a subsidiary of Millicom, a Swedish company dedicated to investing in Rwanda's digital innovation space. We launched in December 2009 and are today, the second largest telecommunication company in Rwanda with over two million subscribers. We were Millicom's first African operation to launch 3G Internet for our subscribers, extending digital inclusion to thousands of Rwandans.

We are more than just a mobile phone operator, we are a digital lifestyle provider and we help our customers find solutions to everyday needs by opening up the digital world. Tigo has expanded its digital offer accross the country with a wide range of products and services.

Through our partnership with the Ministry of Youth & ICT, we have increased public access to digital products for Rwandans by

providing Free WiFi on public buses in Kigali. In the first half of 2014, over 16,000 commuters have already enjoyed the Free WiFi helping them to better connect with their friends and family.

Our Mobile Financial Services bring banking to people who have never had a bank account. In 2011, Millicom launched Tigo Cash, the best way to send, receive money and make payments by mobile. By October 2013, 36% of our subscribers were active Tigo Cash users. Our subscribers can deposit or withdraw money, pay electricity and water bills or school fee via text message. Tigo Cash not only makes banking easier, but also helps Rwanda move towards a cashless and paperless economy with financial inclusion. It has been recognised by the GSMA as one of the top five fastest - growing MFS businesses in the world.

Tigo constantly strives to build upon our digital products - which is why we introduced in June 2013 our new "Tigo-Matic" machines in Rwanda. Through "Tigo-Matic" our customers can deposit money, purchase airtime and receive money safely and efficiently 24 hours a day. We have also made International Mobile Money transfers easier for our subscribers. In February 2014, we introduced the world's first International Mobile Money Service with currency conversion between Tigo Rwanda and Tigo Tanzania.
