Selcom and Visa Launch Pay by Link to Simplify Digital Payments in Tanzania

Selcom is proud to announce a major milestone in our ongoing commitment to expand secure, inclusive, and innovative payment solutions across Tanzania.

 In partnership with Visa, we are introducing Pay by Link, a service that empowers merchants to accept digital payments fast and securely.

What Is Pay by Link?

Pay by Link is a flexible, user-friendly service that enables merchants to receive payments through two convenient, fully digital methods:

• Secure Online Payment Link: Merchants can generate a payment link and share it instantly via WhatsApp, SMS, email, or any digital channel. Customers simply click, enter their card details, and pay securely anytime, anywhere.

• Scannable QR Code: A unique QR code can be shared with customers or displayed on mobile devices, websites, or printed materials. Both local and international customers can scan the code to complete payment in seconds. 

Whether you're selling products online, offering services remotely, delivering goods, or receiving bookings, Pay by Link gives you a fast and reliable payment tool.

Designed for Today’s Businesses and Tomorrow’s Opportunities

Pay by Link is:

• Ideal for small and mid-sized merchants who want to accept card payments without the cost of acquiring a POS machine.

• A perfect solution for tourists and visitors, who may not be familiar with local mobile money channels but trust card-based payments.

• A frictionless payment experience for customers who prefer the convenience of paying digitally rather than handling cash.

• A reliable method for online sellers and service providers who do not have a full e-commerce platform but still require secure payment acceptance.

Why Choose Pay by Link?

• No POS machine required: All transactions happen through a link or QR code. There is no hardware installation or maintenance required.

• No physical card needed: Customers pay digitally, enhancing convenience and security.

• Safer and more secure payments: The service is powered by Visa’s trusted global payment network, supported by Selcom’s robust local infrastructure.

• Faster payments, fewer barriers: Merchants can receive payments remotely and reduce dependence on physical proximity.

• Supports both local and international customers: This opens your business to a wider audience, including travelers, diaspora customers, and remote clients.

Start accepting digital payments the easy way. A smooth, secure, and seamless payment experience your customers will value.
