About Selcom

Selcom is a Tanzanian financial services group that builds and operates the payment infrastructure behind banks, businesses and government and serves consumers and small businesses directly through its own bank, infrastructure and merchant network.

Founded in 2001 as an airtime distributor in Dar es Salaam, Selcom has spent two decades building the rails that move money in Tanzania. We are the country's oldest and largest bootstrapped fintech, and we remain Tanzanian owned and Tanzanian-run.

Built, not bought!

The processing platform at the centre of the group was built in-house and is still developed inhouse.

Everywhere, money moves.

Banks, wallets, agents, merchants, billers and government all connect through the same network.

Bootstrapped and independent.

Two decades of growth funded out of the business rather than out of successive funding rounds.

FOOTPRINTS

Where we are

Today the group holds a banking licence from the Bank of Tanzania, alongside payment service provider and foreign exchange licences, a TCRA application service provider licence, and principal membership of Mastercard. That combination — a bank, a processor and a distribution network under one roof — is unique in the market.

Selcom is a Tanzanian business, built for Tanzania. Everything in this document is licensed here, staffed here and run here and the depth that comes from concentrating on one market is the point, not a limitation. Headquartered in Dar es Salaam, with reach into every region through the agent network, the merchant base and our Xperience Centres.

HUMAN + TECHNOLOGY

Technology should make life feel simpler.

We build financial and commerce products around real people, real businesses and real needs, making complex systems feel simple, accessible and useful.

LOCAL + TECH FORWARD

Built in Tanzania. Designed for what's next.

We understand the market because we're part of it. Selcom builds platforms for the way Tanzanian lives, trades and grows.

PHYSICAL NETWORK

Selcom Xperience Centers

Digital products still need a place to go when something goes wrong — or when someone would rather be shown than told. Xperience Centers are Selcom's own front door: staffed, always open for business, and always holding cash. Float is held and managed by Selcom, so anyone who walks in can deposit or withdraw. No being turned away, no coming back tomorrow.

Hear it from our customers and partners

  • "Selcom Lipa transformed how we handle daily sales at our shop. Customers pay via QR or mobile money in seconds, and instant payment alerts keep our checkout line moving quickly during peak hours."

    Amina K., Retail Shop Owner (Dar es Salaam)

  • "Integrating Selcom's payment gateway into our e-commerce site was effortless thanks to clear API documentation. Our customers appreciate having multiple payment options, and settlement reports are always accurate."

    Erick S., Tech Entrepreneur (Dar es Salaam)

  • "The transaction bundles save me thousands every week." "I switched to Selcom Pesa because other platforms were quietly draining my money in transfer fees. Buying the Wiki Boost bundle gives me dozens of transactions for a fraction of what I used to pay. It is easily the most affordable digital wallet in Tanzania."

    Baraka S., University Student (Dar es Salaam)

  • "As a Selcom Huduma agent, offering bill payments, airtime, and cash-in services has brought a steady flow of foot traffic to my kiosk. The platform is reliable, commission payouts are clear, and support is prompt when needed."

    David L., Huduma Agent (Mwanza)
