Unipesa Lands in Tanzania: Strategic Infrastructure Built for East Africa's Scale

We are confirming a major expansion milestone: Unipesa is officially operational in Tanzania, in partnership with a Central Bank–licensed Payment Service Provider.

This entry is strategically timed to support a market experiencing rapid digital acceleration. According to the Bank of Tanzania’s 2024 report, real-time digital payments via TIPS surged to USD 11.6 billion (up from $4.9B in 2023), with transaction volumes nearly doubling to 454 million.

By partnering with a fully licensed entity, we ensure a secure, compliant, and high-performance infrastructure from day one, matching this massive momentum.

What This Means for the Tanzanian Ecosystem:

We are deploying our foundational payment capabilities to support merchants and innovators:USD 4.9 billion

💠 High-Volume Processing: Reliable rails built to handle Tanzania’s accelerating transaction demands.

💠 POS & Acceptance Tools: Secure, modern solutions for the flourishing merchant ecosystem.

💠 Interoperable Infrastructure: Digital account services engineered for seamless integration across local financial landscapes.

This is more than geographic expansion—it’s about building the resilient enablement layer required for the next phase of African growth.

We look forward to supporting our new partners and contributors across the country!
