Vodacom customers will now have the option to transfer and receive funds from individuals across more than 200 countries worldwide. This was said at an international day of family remittances event held in Dar es Salaam where stakeholders met to deliberate on the future of International Remittance post COVID 19, according to the official press release.

So far, the Bank of Tanzania has increased limits on digital transactions and reviewed balances of mobile wallets in bid to provide relief and ensure continuity of services as part of measures taken amidst COVID-19.
