Selcom shifts Tanzania to a cashless economy
Mastercard and Selcom have expanded their collaboration by signing a strategic partnership agreement to introduce a variety of payment solutions in the country, thus supporting Tanzania’s goal of becoming a cashless economy.
In collaboration with Selcom, Hub 255 has organized the first of its kind Hackathon that has brought together 44 hackers with different skill sets; designers, data scientists, technology and business developers that will showcase utilization of the Masterpass Quick Response (QR) payment Application Programming Interface (API).
The API allows for consumers to gain access to a wide variety of payment solutions that are accessible on mobile money platforms or via their bank. According to the Marketing Manager of Selcom, Sabrina Munir said Masterpass QR enables millions of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across Africa to accept fast and secure digital payments for the first time.
She said the service addresses challenges previously faced by small business owners who were unable to afford point of sale infrastructure and were forced to transact in cash. As for consumers, this technology eliminates the need to carry cash or traditional bank cards. “Selcom is wholly Tanzanian-owned, with a vision to enhance financial inclusion across Africa through strategic partnerships and alliances to facilitate the seamless movement of funds electronically at all levels,” she said.
