New integration enables customers to seamlessly link accounts and transfer funds between PayPal and M-Pesa wallets through the M-Pesa Super App
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – 26 May 2026: Vodacom M-Pesa Tanzania has announced a strategic partnership with PayPal that will enable customers in Tanzania to seamlessly transfer funds between their PayPal and M-Pesa wallets through the M-Pesa Super App.
As part of M-Pesa’s broader global payments solutions, the integration marks a significant milestone in expanding access to international digital financial services for Tanzanians.
Through the new service, eligible M-Pesa customers will be able to securely deposit funds directly into their PayPal wallets and withdraw funds from PayPal back into their M-Pesa wallets with ease and convenience. The integration is expected to simplify international transactions for freelancers, developers, content creators, entrepreneurs, gig economy workers, and other digitally connected customers.
The partnership comes at a time when demand for seamless cross-border payment solutions continues to grow among Tanzanians participating in international commerce, freelance work, and digital services. With PayPal-to-M-Pesa withdrawals now available, Tanzanians will have easier access to their global earnings and digital income streams.
Speaking about the partnership, Acting M-Pesa Director Tulisindo Mlupilo said the collaboration reflects M-Pesa’s continued commitment to connecting customers to greater opportunities through innovation and inclusive financial services.
“Digital connectivity is creating more opportunities for Tanzanians to participate in the global economy, whether through freelancing, online business, content creation, or cross-border commerce. Through this partnership with PayPal, we are making it easier for our customers to send, receive, deposit, and access funds across platforms with greater convenience and confidence,” said Mlupilo.
Otto Williams, Senior Vice President, Regional Head and General Manager for the Middle East and Africa at PayPal, said the integration supports greater interoperability for customers making international digital transactions.
“Across the world, we are seeing continued growth in digital commerce and remote work participation globally. By enabling easier transfer of funds between PayPal and M-Pesa through account linking, this partnership will help create a more seamless and convenient cross-border payment experience for customers in Tanzania,” said Williams.
Customers will be able to access the service directly through the M-Pesa Super App by linking their PayPal accounts to their M-Pesa wallets through a guided onboarding process designed to support secure and seamless transactions between the two platforms.
The partnership further strengthens M-Pesa’s position as a leader in digital financial services and innovation in Tanzania, while supporting broader efforts to drive financial inclusion and expand access to digital commerce opportunities.
Vodacom Tanzania said additional details regarding customer onboarding, transaction limits, timelines, and service guidance will be communicated through official customer channels and the Vodacom Tanzania website.
