Tigo Tanzania, a leading innovative telecommunication outfit in the country has announced the launch of an online remittance service, sendmoney.tigo.com in the European Union, United Kingdom and Canada.
This service will enable Tanzanians or persons living in Europe, United Kingdom and Canada to send money to Tigo Pesa wallets in Tanzania in real-time.
“Historically, customers had to travel long distances and carry large amounts whenever they received money from abroad, an inconvenient and risky process,” Millicom’s GM for Mobile Financial Services, Greg Reeve said in a press release.
He further said, “With the expansion of mobile remittances and services like sendmony.tigo.com, this is no longer the case. Our vision is to expand services for our customers to fully benefit from their Tigo Pesa wallets.”
Sendmoney.tigo.com provides the same security standards as banks – payments are processed through Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode, and allows users to receive transfers safely and quickly right in their Tigo Pesa wallets.
The service is considered the safest and most convenient way of sending remittances to Tanzania due to its low transaction fees – lower than that of any bank.
Tigo Tanzania, founded in 1993 and distinguished as a fully-fledged digital lifestyle brand, is owned by Millicom, a leading telecoms and media company with presence in Africa and Latin America.
