How To Invest In The MTN My Own Pension Scheme

MTN Ghana has designed a beautiful service for all workers to enjoy a great pension by contributing regularly for a period of 5 years or more.

With the My Own Pension scheme, users determine how much they wish to contribute and the frequency of the payment as well.

You can decide to pay daily, weekly or monthly. So, if I decide to pay 1 cedi daily (which is the least), and I choose a weekly Frequency, I’ll pay 5 Ghana cedis weekly through my mobile money account.

Once the registration is complete, payment is done automatically every 7 days.

Meaning, if you registered on Tuesday, every Tuesday, the deduction is made from your account.

If you do not have enough money in your account prior to the next deduction, that payday gets skipped and you wouldn’t be double-charged for your next deduction.

Also, your investment in the pension scheme is further divided into two equal parts. The first half goes into an investment account which you can withdraw after one year.

The other half goes into your pensions account which you can withdraw after 5 years. The interest rate on the pension scheme is a little higher than the T.Bill Rate for each year.
