Juba, South Sudan – May 30, 2025 – Equity Bank has introduced a groundbreaking mobile banking digital payment solution, the first of its kind in the South Sudan market. This innovative service, Equity Till, empowers Equity customers to make payments seamlessly, securely, affordably and instantaneously to Equity merchants using the Equity mobile app.
By revolutionizing the payments platform, this solution redefines how transactions are conducted in South Sudan. It eliminates the reliance on cash, offering unparalleled convenience to customers, while merchants benefit from direct and instant deposits into their bank accounts. This service is a game-changer for financial technology and inclusivity in the country, marking a pivotal moment in South Sudan's digital economy journey.
The new service unlocks a multitude of benefits for individuals and businesses alike. In a nation poised for significant economic growth, with a projected real GDP increase of 27.2% in 2025 (IMF), the solution provides secure mobile cash transactions. It will also significantly expand financial inclusion, bringing more individuals into the formal financial system. Customers will experience near-instant transfers between their bank accounts and mobile wallets, all while enjoying affordable transaction costs. The streamlined payment process will benefit both personal and business transactions, providing 24/7 access to funds and enabling quick access to funds during emergencies.
"Equity Till marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to providing innovative and accessible financial solutions for the people of South Sudan," said James Kiarie, A.g. Mananging Director of Equity Bank South Sudan. "By integrating mobile money and banking services, we are empowering both individuals and businesses to engage more fully in the digital economy. This development not only drives economic growth but also creates new opportunities for everyone, fostering greater financial inclusion and prosperity."
The mobile banking digital payment solution is a vital tool for economic empowerment in South Sudan. The service is readily accessible through multiple channels, including USSD, the Equity Mobile App, and Equity Online, ensuring ease of use for all customers. This builds on Equity Group's proven success in driving digital financial inclusion across the region, where its innovative technology platforms have enabled a remarkable shift towards self-service channels, with 98% of transactions now conducted outside of traditional branch locations.
