From Babati, with a long view
A Tanzanian financial technology company with a simple belief: access to money should start from who you are — verified once.
One identity, many doors
Every financial service asks you to start from zero — a new account, a new verification, a new number. We are building the opposite.
An identity-centric platform where one verified identity connects customers, merchants, agents and, in time, licensed banks and mobile money providers.

Four values we won't trade away
Honesty over hype
We say exactly what is built, and what is next.
People over phone numbers
Identity, not a SIM card, is the anchor we design around.
Care over speed
In financial services, moving deliberately is a feature.
Local roots, global standards
Built in Babati, engineered to international norms.
Where this is heading
Directions, not dates. Each step depends on authorisation and partnership.
Now
Building the platform
Identity, wallets, merchant acceptance and agent flows in active development.
Next
Authorised pilots
Limited pilots with licensed providers, subject to approval and agreement.
Later

One verified identity reaching banks and mobile money across Tanzania.
