MobileMoney Customer Registration
There are two ways of registering customers:

1. USSD using existing SIM. Customer simply dial *500# and follow the instructions thereafter.
2. STK: This may require you to do SIM swap for customer if his SIM does not have the MobileMoney icon. You may also sell a new MTN line to the customer if he chooses to buy a new MTN line for MobileMoney.

SIM swap:

1. Tell customer to fill SIM swap form.
2. Back up customers’ SIM contacts using SIM copier.
3. Type swap#Old number#SIM Serial Number#PUK#Alternative number in an SMS and send to destination 263 e.g Swap#08032008840#89234010000111468881#12345678#08031542010,
4. Inform customer to approve swap by sending the system generated serial number to 263  within 24 hours otherwise the serial number becomes invalid and the swap will need to be re- initiated e.g Swap#268196471598064595 to 263

Both you and the will receive a confirmation message that the swap has been processed.

1. Customer should insert the welcome back SIM into his handsets once there is a loss of network on his phone.
2. Restore customer’s contact into the new SIM
3. Inform customer to type “Yes” in a text message and send to 500 to complete MobileMoney registration
