Reward cards across Tanzania — Shilling denominated, any phone.

Tanzania's distributed population and strong mobile money base make reach the defining challenge. We solve it: USSD redemption on any handset, issued from a single platform.

The market

Why Tanzania matters.

Tanzania is a geographically large market with a population spread across Dar es Salaam, regional cities, and rural areas. Mobile money is widely used, but data access is inconsistent. Any rewards infrastructure that works only online leaves most recipients unreachable. QIFTS delivers in Tanzanian Shilling with USSD and SMS access as standard.

Access methods

Recipients in Tanzania can redeem rewards via any of these channels — no smartphone required for most.

  • USSD (any phone, no data)
  • SMS delivery
  • WhatsApp redemption
  • Branded web page

Market insight

Tanzania's three major mobile money operators — M-Pesa, Airtel Money, and Tigo Pesa — together have over 30 million active wallets. But none of them offer branded reward delivery. QIFTS sits on top of that infrastructure to add the reward layer that's missing.

Competitive context

Tanzania has no established local rewards platform. Companies operating here have always built in-house or relied on manual processes. QIFTS is the first pan-African platform to cover Tanzania natively with local currency issuance.
