The bank behind the Selcom ecosystem

About Selcom Microfinance Bank

Selcom Microfinance Bank brings together regulated banking, digital financial services and Selcom’s extensive payments ecosystem to give individuals and businesses a simpler way to save, borrow and manage their money.

Licensed and supervised by the Bank of Tanzania, Selcom Microfinance Bank sits at the centre of Selcom’s consumer and business ecosystem connecting deposits, lending and everyday transactions through digital channels and a nationwide distribution network.

In a market where many fintechs partner with banks, Selcom has its own bank. That means customers can access financial services through a regulated, supervised institution while benefiting from the convenience and reach of Selcom’s payments network. Your money is held within a regulated banking institution, while our lending business is funded from our own balance sheet.

Deposits

Current, savings and fixed-term deposit accounts for individuals and businesses, opened digitally through Selcom Pesa or in person.

Lending

Digital consumer credit, SME working capital and distributor finance, underwritten on transaction data rather than collateral alone.

Reach

Distribution through the agent network, the merchant base and the Xperience Centres, not a branch estate.

Core Purpose

The Bankbone of
your business

Tanzanian small businesses are underserved by conventional banking: slow onboarding, collateral-heavy lending and tools built for corporates. Selcom Business is built the other Around, around how a shop, distributor or service business actually trades.
