Vodacom, has come up with "M-Pesa", Zantel has come up with "Z-pesa", others have been more bold and attempted to create an operator independent platform such as "Mobi-Pawa", now jus a few days ago, Zain has joined the band wagon with their own branded mobile banking solution "Zap". From the offset we are seeing that the biggest problem so far is lack of collaboration by the mobile operators thus limiting the expansion mobile banking in Tanzania due to the fact that all stakeholders see mobile banking as a customer rentention service.
I would like to as such find out what fellow Jamii Forumers think should be done by stakeholders and regulators inorder to ensure that mobile banking succeeds in Tanzania and does not become a white elephant as i believe it has significant potential to render financial and banking services to the vast unbanked population of Tanzania much faster and more cost effectiviely in comparison to conventional banking approaches?
