The Tap & Pay feature is the first mobile-money system in Africa that lets people make transactions by holding their device near VISA-enabled readers without entering card numbers or PINs. Director Epimack Mbeteni said the service cuts costs for travelers across East Africa, the Middle East, and Asia who usually deal with expensive payment systems. The platform links Tanzanian businesses to Chinese sellers through Alipay, connects traders to Dubai merchants via TerraPay, and enables direct payments to MTN MoMo wallets in Uganda for cross-border commerce between the two countries.
