Fees and charges for mobile money can be difficult to afford. What can I do?
Check the latest update here.
According to MINICT: If you are asked to pay additional fees or charges for a cashless payment, like mobile money or a credit or debit card, call and report this using the toll-free number 3988.
Fees & Charges
Question: I am afraid of using cash and catching the COVID-19 virus right now. But fees and charges for mobile money can be difficult to afford. What can I do?
Answer: You are in luck! The Government of Rwanda is making sure that it is safer and easier for you to make and receive payments during this uncertain time. What you need to know is:
- There are ZERO charges when you transfer money between your bank account and your mobile wallet. You will have no charge to do so!
- There are ZERO fees when you make payments using your mobile account at a store or other merchant. This is for mobile money transfers, as well as for using POS devices at a shop or merchant.
- In fact, ALL electronic transactions will have no fees during this time of COVID-19.
- MTN will NOT charge fees for using mobile money – to send, receive, or pay bills – until at least June of 2020.
- Airtel is also eliminating fees for sending and receiving mobile money at this time, and mobile payments of utilities are free as well.
Cashing out from your account at an agent, however, still carries fees.
You do not need to worry about touching cash. These measures have been taken to make it easier for you to make your payments and receive money even when many fear to touch money.
Be Safe! Use mobile money and digital services to keep yourself healthy, safe, and fees will not be charged!

Transport
Question: What do I need to know about traveling in Rwanda as of May 4th, 2020? How can I safely get to work?
Answer: Slowly but surely, Rwandans are getting back to work and moving around their provinces and City of Kigali. No public transport between provinces and between Provinces and City of Kigali. Public transportation is an important part of getting to and from work, and it is important to follow the Government guidelines to stay healthy.
While you may not use public transportation – buses, minibuses or even your own vehicle – between different provinces in the country, buses and minibuses have started to accept passengers once again. Moto taxis are also not yet permitted to take passengers.
To be safe on buses, respect social distancing guidelines when waiting in line to get on the bus. Contact with an infected person can cause YOU to be infected too, and so distance is important. In some cases passengers will also be screened before they can get on to the bus. What is more, each seat in the bus is marked with a “check” or an “X”. You may sit in those seats marked with a green “check” but NOT in those marked with a red “X.”
This means that there are fewer places than normal on buses and minibuses.
And just like any time you are in public or at your work, remember to wear a mask, wash your hands constantly, or use hand sanitizer.
If you take public transportation, be informed of fees and charges, too. You can find these through RURA, both on their website (rura.rw) and on Twitter (@RURA_RW). Mind that fees and charges are higher than they were before the pandemic began, and be sure to include this in your budget. For example, if you used to pay 260 RWF to go from Kacyiru to Nyabugogo, you will now pay 367 RWF. Checking the cost will help you from paying too much, and keep you prepared for the amount you will need.
Be Healthy! Social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands and sit in the seats marked with a green check mark when taking the bus. DO NOT gather in a crowd for yourself and for others’ safety. Together – but safely distant – we can keep each other healthy

Nkora ubucuruzi bwo mu rwego rw’amahoteri kandi bushingiye ku bukerarugendo. Ni gute ubucuruzi nkora buzakomeza gukora mu gihe abantu badakora ingendo ?

Hospitality & Tourism
I have a hospitality business and depend on tourism. How will I keep my business during a time when people are not traveling?
Answer: In Rwanda, tourism is an important sector. While travel to and from Rwanda by air or land is still prohibited as of May 5th, 2020, the Government of Rwanda and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) are looking at ways in which to ease the burden on the tourism and hospitality industry.
As of May 4th, hotels and restaurants may now operate again, but they must close by 7:00 pm each day. They must also install hygiene stands so that customers and staff can wash their hands, or apply hand sanitizer when they enter. As with all businesses, all employees must wear a mask – and customers too! And always keep a distance.
Gyms, nightclubs, bars, churches, and other large gathering places will stay closed until further notice.
There are also initiatives like the Corona Action Rwanda initiative at www.coronaactionrwanda.rw. This initiative is not specifically for the hospitality industry, but it will provide both support and grants to organizations that apply by May 8th, 2020.
Finally, for companies who faced challenges in filing their annual returns and annual accounts due to the lockdown and measures put in place to contain the spread of COVID-19, to the office of the Registrar General in RDB period has been extended until 31st of July 2020.
Be Smart! If you are part of the tourism sector, make sure to stay up-to-date by following RDB for announcements on loans and other measures, as well as keeping in touch with your association, chamber and PSF so that you know what is available to your business.

What do I need to know about traveling in Rwanda as of May 4th, 2020? How can I safely get to work?
Transport
Question: What do I need to know about traveling in Rwanda as of May 4th, 2020? How can I safely get to work?
Answer: Slowly but surely, Rwandans are getting back to work and moving around their provinces and City of Kigali. No public transport between provinces and between Provinces and City of Kigali. Public transportation is an important part of getting to and from work, and it is important to follow the Government guidelines to stay healthy.
While you may not use public transportation – buses, minibuses or even your own vehicle – between different provinces in the country, buses and minibuses have started to accept passengers once again. Moto taxis are also not yet permitted to take passengers.
To be safe on buses, respect social distancing guidelines when waiting in line to get on the bus. Contact with an infected person can cause YOU to be infected too, and so distance is important. In some cases passengers will also be screened before they can get on to the bus. What is more, each seat in the bus is marked with a “check” or an “X”. You may sit in those seats marked with a green “check” but NOT in those marked with a red “X.”
This means that there are fewer places than normal on buses and minibuses.
And just like any time you are in public or at your work, remember to wear a mask, wash your hands constantly, or use hand sanitizer.
If you take public transportation, be informed of fees and charges, too. You can find these through RURA, both on their website (rura.rw) and on Twitter (@RURA_RW). Mind that fees and charges are higher than they were before the pandemic began, and be sure to include this in your budget. For example, if you used to pay 260 RWF to go from Kacyiru to Nyabugogo, you will now pay 367 RWF. Checking the cost will help you from paying too much, and keep you prepared for the amount you will need.
Be Healthy! Social distance, wear a mask, wash your hands and sit in the seats marked with a green check mark when taking the bus. DO NOT gather in a crowd for yourself and for others’ safety. Together – but safely distant – we can keep each other healthy

I have a hospitality business and depend on tourism. How will I keep my business during a time when people are not traveling?
Hospitality & Tourism
I have a hospitality business and depend on tourism. How will I keep my business during a time when people are not traveling?
Answer: In Rwanda, tourism is an important sector. While travel to and from Rwanda by air or land is still prohibited as of May 5th, 2020, the Government of Rwanda and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) are looking at ways in which to ease the burden on the tourism and hospitality industry.
As of May 4th, hotels and restaurants may now operate again, but they must close by 7:00 pm each day. They must also install hygiene stands so that customers and staff can wash their hands, or apply hand sanitizer when they enter. As with all businesses, all employees must wear a mask – and customers too! And always keep a distance.
Gyms, nightclubs, bars, churches, and other large gathering places will stay closed until further notice.
There are also initiatives like the Corona Action Rwanda initiative at www.coronaactionrwanda.rw. This initiative is not specifically for the hospitality industry, but it will provide both support and grants to organizations that apply by May 8th, 2020.
Finally, for companies who faced challenges in filing their annual returns and annual accounts due to the lockdown and measures put in place to contain the spread of COVID-19, to the office of the Registrar General in RDB period has been extended until 31st of July 2020.
Be Smart! If you are part of the tourism sector, make sure to stay up-to-date by following RDB for announcements on loans and other measures, as well as keeping in touch with your association, chamber and PSF so that you know what is available to your business.
