What you needYour recipient’s bank details in Tanzania — the account name, account number, and any local routing code.

Days are business days — a Saturday delays a same-day or next-day payout. These are ceilings, not typical times: within the window, how fast the money lands depends on the receiving bank.

Sending USD to Tanzania — FAQ

Speed

Rate

Between 31 Jul 2026 – 20 Aug 2026 the mid-market rate rose 0.22%, with a low of 2,638.8310 and a high of 2,654.2015 TZS per US dollar. The rate is captured daily and shown at the mid-market rate with no markup.

Cost

Safety

Is my money safe while the transfer is processing?

Yes. Your funds sit in your own account and only move when you confirm a transfer with your passkey. Maash can’t spend, move, or freeze your balance. Occasionally a banking partner pauses a transfer for a short compliance check. A review delays a transfer — it never takes your money.

Banks

Which banks in Tanzania can I send money to?

Maash pays out to 39 banks in Tanzania. Your recipient needs an account in their own name; enter their bank details when you add them. The list is the one Maash’s payout provider states and can change.

Account

Can I open a Maash account in Tanzania?

Yes. Tanzania is one of the countries Maash can open an account from, so you can both hold US dollars and send to Tanzania. Identity verification applies, and some countries need additional checks; Maash lists every country it can open an account from on its supported-countries page.
