Tanzania Payments Market Overview

Tanzania is a market of great potential both due to the size of its population and its positive economic outlook. More than 320,000 Tanzanians live abroad, while among the nearly 60 million people living in Tanzania, only less than 1% are immigrants. With the rapid growth of its population, Tanzania also continues to be one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.

Consumer spending growth is expected to continuously accelerate as the country has quickly grown to have one of the top mobile money markets in the world. At present, there are over 35 million mobile money subscribers in Tanzania, which accounts for over half of the country’s population. On average, between 200 to 300 million transactions go through mobile money per month.
