How to Deposit Money into Welile

Who this is for: everyone paying money into Welile — tenants, agents, landlords and partners.

You pay Welile by Mobile Money or through the bank. Mobile Money is matched to your account automatically; bank transfers are checked by the finance team before they appear.

Check the name before you approve

Your phone shows the recipient name before you enter your PIN. It must read WELILE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED. If it shows a person's name or anything else, cancel.

Never pay a code or account number that somebody sent you in a message, and never use one you wrote down a while ago. Use the details on this page, or the ones shown in the app at the moment you pay.

MTN Mobile Money​

Welile's MTN MoMo Pay merchant code is 090777, registered to WELILE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED.

  1. Dial *165*3# on your MTN line.
  2. Enter the merchant code 090777.
  3. Check the name shown is WELILE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED.
  4. Enter the amount in UGX.
  5. If you are asked for a reference, enter the phone number registered on your Welile account.
  6. Enter your Mobile Money PIN to approve.

Airtel Money​

Welile's Airtel Money merchant code is 4380664, registered to WELILE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED.

  1. Dial *185*9# on your Airtel line.
  2. Enter the merchant code 4380664.
  3. Check the name shown is WELILE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED.
  4. Enter the amount in UGX.
  5. If you are asked for a reference, enter the phone number registered on your Welile account.
  6. Enter your Mobile Money PIN to approve.

Equity Bank Uganda​

Use the bank for amounts above your daily Mobile Money limit.

  • Bank: Equity Bank Uganda, Entebbe Branch
  • Account name: WELILE TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
  • Account number: 1046203375259
  • Currency: UGX
  • SWIFT code: EQBLUGKA
  1. Transfer or deposit to the account above.
  2. Put the phone number registered on your Welile account in the description or narration.
  3. Wait for the transfer to settle at the bank.

Bank deposits are not matched automatically. Once the transfer has settled, the finance team checks it against the bank statement and credits your balance. This takes longer than Mobile Money, so allow time and do not send again in the meantime.

You do not need to enter a transaction ID​

Mobile Money deposits are matched automatically. As long as you paid from the number registered on your Welile account — or entered that number as the reference — Welile recognises the payment and credits your balance on its own.

There is nothing to copy, paste or type into the app. Wait a short while and watch your balance.

Keep the confirmation SMS anyway. If something does go wrong, that reference is what support needs.

How to check it arrived​

Your balance updates on its own — you do not need to refresh or call anyone. The deposit also appears in your statement.

If it has not arrived​

See a payment has not arrived. Do not pay a second time: that creates another payment to trace and leaves you short in the meantime.
