BongoPay is a payment platform by Bongofey — making it simple, secure and developer‑friendly for Tanzanian businesses to accept mobile money and manage their money.
Tanzania has millions of mobile‑money users and thousands of businesses that need a reliable way to get paid online. BongoPay gives every business the same payment infrastructure that used to be reserved for large enterprises — built on the Selcom network, with the complexity handled for you.
Every decision prioritises the safety of merchant funds and customer data. We don't cut corners.
No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Our pricing, policies and audit trail are always accessible.
Great APIs, clear docs and sandbox environments so developers can build with confidence.
Designed for the Tanzanian market with mobile money at the core, not bolted on afterwards.
BongoPay sits between your business and the Selcom payment network, handling the complex parts so you can focus on selling.
Share a payment link or call our API. Your customer approves the charge with a mobile-money prompt on their own phone — M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa or Halo Pesa.
Selcom clears the payment on its licensed network. BongoPay records the transaction, deducts the flat 6% fee, and updates your withdrawable balance the moment it confirms.
Request a payout to your mobile-money or bank account from one dashboard, with clear records, receipts, and audit trails for every shilling.
BongoPay is a payment technology platform, not a bank — collection and settlement run over the licensed Selcom network. We take risk seriously: merchant onboarding includes KYC and NIDA review, withdrawals go through approval, and every action is logged.
Our policies are drafted with reference to Tanzanian frameworks including the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022, the Electronic Transactions Act, 2015, the Cybercrimes Act, 2015, and the National Payment Systems Act, 2015. Read our Terms, Privacy Policy and Prohibited Businesses policy.
