Letshego Uganda Introduces LetsGO App

Letshego Uganda CEO Giles Germany Aijukwe declared the LetsGO app design perfect. Well, almost. He did say it was convenient, diverse, competitive and offers a great experience. “Since Letshego is a customer-centric business, it’s incumbent on us to design products and services that factor in convenience, diverse product/service offerings, and competitive edge and above all-provide a seamless experience. With the LetsGo App, I have no doubt all the aforementioned will be met. I am elated and optimistic for Ugandans,” he said.

Giles mentioned the past decade experienced an explosion of mobile app users globally. That by end of 2020, there were about 3.5bn smartphone users worldwide. “From brand promotion to learning more about your customer base, there is almost no limit to how much utility you can get from apps,” he said.

Letshego Group boasts entry into 11 markets and a 22-year history of improving lives through inclusive financial solutions.

Roger Mugisha, Head Corporate Communications at Letshego says with LetsGo, Ugandans, starting with civil servants under the brand’s established Deduction at Source (DAS) model, will be in charge of their finances digitally. “Companies are in a constant cycle of creating and monetising value. Digital transformation fundamentally changes how companies create, monetise and defend value-giving companies the much-needed competitive edge. While digital transformation is important, the first step is to understand what digital transformation means to your company depending on its maturity, industry, competition, value chain and ecosystems.”

Andrew Fening Okai, Letshego’s Group CEO said, “Digitisation is no longer a revolution – it’s a part of everyday life. Having recently celebrated Africa Day, and as we navigate our way through a global pandemic, there is no better time than now for Letshego to be inspiring confidence in our unique strengths as a continent, encouraging collaboration to overcome our challenges, and inspiring courage for us all to Rise Up… #letsGO!”

Okai says LetsGO solutions enable Letshego customers achieve their aspirations, empowering a progressive generation of cultural change in this new normal. “With simple digital financial and beyond banking solutions that are tailored to support life goals and help improve the lives of our customers, bringing tangible spin-off benefits for our local communities, Letshego remains resolute in changing the landscape of inclusive financial services in Africa. LetsGo gives customers digital power through an omnichannel digital experience with Letshego continuing its journey in evolving its LetsGO platform and products to further catalyse its Strategic Transformation,” he said in a statement.

He pointed out that “the LetsGO platform – accessible via mobile phone and web – will unlock digital access to account information, loans and top-ups for existing and new deduction at source customers in Botswana and Nigeria. The group’s remaining nine markets will enjoy the same digital platform benefits by the end of this year. With the brand’s phased rollout towards increasing depth in capability, access and products, LetsGo is set to catapult Letshego towards its vision to become a world-class retail financial institution, improving the lives of customers across sub-Saharan Africa.”
