What you can do with AzamPesa
Collect payments
Charge a AzamPesa wallet in Tanzania through the hosted checkout or the API. The payer confirms on their handset and you are credited in TZS.
Pay out to a wallet
Live in Tanzania: disburse straight to any AzamPesa account. The other markets are being brought up now, one verified rail at a time.
Settle to your bank
Whatever you collect on AzamPesa settles to your own bank account by wire, in any country in the world. This is not limited by market and never has been, unlike disbursement above.
Integrating AzamPesa
There is no AzamPesa-specific integration. One API covers every network, and the provider code selects the rail.

Which countries does AzamPesa work in?
