MTN Eswatini Partners With Lubane SACCO to Expand Access to Devices
Under the partnership, eligible Lubane SACCO members can obtain smartphones through a loan arrangement facilitated by the SACCO, alongside MTN data packages.
MTN Eswatini has partnered with Lubane SACCO to launch a device loan scheme aimed at making smartphones and mobile connectivity more accessible to cooperative members in Eswatini.
Under the partnership, eligible Lubane SACCO members can obtain smartphones through a loan arrangement facilitated by the SACCO, alongside MTN data packages. The initiative is designed to combine access to digital devices with financial services, enabling more people to participate in the digital economy.
The partnership was officially launched in Ezulwini on 3 October 2026. The initiative is expected to initially serve Lubane members, with plans for members of other Savings and Credit Cooperative Organisations (SACCOs) to potentially benefit from the device financing opportunity in the future.
Beyond device ownership, the programme is intended to give beneficiaries greater access to communication, mobile financial services, education, business opportunities and other digital platforms. It reflects a broader effort to combine telecommunications services with financial inclusion.
Lubane SACCO already provides various loan products to its members and operates digital services integrated with MTN Eswatini, including mobile savings and loan-related services.
