Four wallet records

M-Pesa

Bank of Tanzania identifies M-Pesa as a Tanzania electronic-money issuer. Vodacom's published tariff says a fully registered customer may send up to TZS 5 million per day and hold up to TZS 10 million; those wallet limits are not casino limits.

Airtel Money

Bank of Tanzania records Airtel Money Tanzania Limited. Airtel's public tariff publishes transaction bands and states that agent deposits range from TZS 1,000 to TZS 10 million; a casino account can apply narrower limits.

Mixx by Yas

Mixx by Yas is the current consumer brand for the wallet that older sources call Tigo Pesa. Its terms require users to verify the payee and amount and state that transaction limits and fees can change; a legacy Tigo Pesa instruction should be reconciled with the current recipient.

HaloPesa

HaloPesa identifies Viettel E-commerce Limited as the provider and states that it is licensed by the Bank of Tanzania. Its public service includes wallet storage, transfers, agent cash-in and cash-out and bill payments; casino merchant support is a separate finding.
