Furthermore, Azania Bank highlighted its commitment to financial empowerment and inclusion for all Tanzanians. As part of its offering, the financial institution delivers bancassurance, small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) loans, mobile banking, and diaspora accounts, among others.

Banking in Tanzania

Currently, Tanzania’s banking sector is moving towards mobile banking, with more individuals leveraging digital platforms for financial transactions. According to Statista, the banking market is projected to experience a substantial increase in net interest income, reaching nearly USD 5,091 million in 2025. However, despite the shift towards mobile banking, traditional banks are expected to dominate this segment, with a projected volume of USD 5,085 million during the same period.
