Unlimit, the global fintech company, continues its African expansion with the integration of M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas and Airtel Money into its Tanzanian offering, the nation’s three leading mobile money services, with nearly 90% of the market share. This strategic move addresses the unique financial landscape of the region, where a significant portion of the population still remains unbanked.

Mobile money reached two significant milestones in 2024, surpassing two billion registered accounts and over half a billion active monthly users across the globe. The industry took 18 years to achieve one billion registered accounts and 250 million active users from 2001, but doubled in size in the following five years. This is according to the ‘State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money 2025’ prepared by the GSMA Mobile Money programme which works to advance the mobile money ecosystem for communities worldwide that lack access to more traditional banking services.
