MoMo staff hit the hills to drive fitness, wellness

Staff of MobileMoney Fintech LTD (MMFL) took their fitness ambitions to new heights on Saturday, staging an eight-kilometre health walk that underlined the company’s growing emphasis on wellbeing, teamwork and peak performance.

The “MMFL Staff Wellness Walk” saw more than 80 employees trek from Ayi Mensah up the mountainous stretch to the Peduase Presidential Lodge, powered by the rhythm of a lively brass band before rounding off with high-energy aerobic sessions at the finish.

The initiative comes at a defining moment for MMFL, which was rebranded from MobileMoney Limited effective March 31, 2026, as a standalone fintech entity now responsible for all MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) operations, positioning itself for accelerated growth while meeting evolving regulatory demands.

Beyond the symbolism, the exercise carried a clear performance message: a fitter workforce drives sharper execution.

Speaking after the session, Dzifa Romano Mensah, CEO/Head of Human Resource at MMFL, said the programme was designed to empower staff to deliver at the highest level while reinforcing a culture where health and safety remain non-negotiable.

“This is not just about keeping us safe but also ensuring that we are performing and delivering when it comes to our business, because when our people are well, our service to customers is stronger,” she said.

Mrs Mensah emphasised that the initiative forms part of a sustained strategy rather than a one-off event, with similar programmes planned later in the year to deepen staff wellness and strengthen service delivery.

“It’s definitely been worth it and amazing. Not just the walking but holding each other reinforces a culture where well-being is encouraged and support for one another is normal.

This is not a one-day event; it’s a long-term culture shift.”

While far from the competitive arena, the walk mirrored the discipline, endurance and unity synonymous with elite sport—qualities MMFL is clearly intent on embedding as it builds a high-performance organisation in Ghana’s rapidly evolving fintech space.
