About Rafiki

Tanzania's modern forex bureau

Founded with a simple mission: make foreign exchange accessible, transparent, and fast for every Tanzanian — from the trader in Kariakoo to the multinational in Masaki.

Our Story

Built to solve real problems

Before Rafiki, buying or selling foreign currency in Tanzania meant queuing at a bank, filling out paper forms, and waiting days for settlement.

We built Rafiki as a fully digital forex bureau — where customers can register online, complete KYC from their phone, lock in a rate, and settle the same day. Compliant with Bank of Tanzania regulations. Auditable at every step.

Today we serve thousands of individuals and businesses across Tanzania, with branch presence in Dar es Salaam and a growing digital footprint.
