BTC Smega

BTC Smega is a mobile money and digital financial services platform originally operated by Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC). While it is primarily based in Botswana, it is often referenced in discussions of African mobile money systems because it is a telecom-led digital wallet platform similar to services like M-Pesa and Airtel Money.

Smega functions as a mobile-based financial service system that allows users to send and receive money, make payments, and access basic financial services using a mobile phone. It is designed to improve financial inclusion, especially for people without access to traditional banking services.
