Lagos-based fintech company Fincra Tanzania has achieved a major milestone by obtaining a payment system provider license from the Bank of Tanzania. This development allows Fincra to bring its cutting-edge payment solutions to businesses and developers in Tanzania’s thriving digital market. This move marks an important step in the company’s mission to expand across Africa.
What Fincra Tanzania Brings to the Market
With this new license, it introduces a suite of services tailored for all Tanzanian businesses. These include virtual accounts, payment APIs, and seamless checkout solutions, all designed to simplify transactions. By offering tools that integrate easily with existing systems, Fincra Tanzania aims to empower local companies , operators and tech innovators to compete in a fast-evolving financial landscape.
Leadership Perspective on the Expansion
Fincra’s CEO, Wole Ayodele, shared his excitement about the news. “Securing this license is a testament to our dedication to compliance and innovation,” he stated. “Fincra will play a pivotal role in connecting businesses to the global economy through reliable payment systems.” This expansion builds on Fincra’s success in other East African markets like Kenya and Uganda.
Impact on Tanzania’s Growing Fintech Sector
Tanzania’s digital economy is booming, with mobile money transactions surging in recent years. Fincra Tanzania enters this competitive space alongside established players like M-Pesa and Tigo Pesa. However, its focus on business-oriented solutions, such as multi-currency payment support, sets Fincra Tanzania apart as a unique contributor to the country’s fintech growth.
Looking Ahead for Fincra Tanzania

With Fincra now operational, the company plans to deepen its footprint in East Africa and beyond. Future markets on its radar include Egypt and Ethiopia, signaling a bright outlook for Fincra as a leader in Africa’s fintech revolution.
