Stanbic Bank Tanzania Launch New App

Stanbic Tanzania App

Stanbic Bank Tanzania has upgraded its mobile banking application for Android and IOS to create a better overall experience for its clients.

The upgrade comes embedded with new intuitive features, including a global link to other accounts domiciled in foreign countries, a more user-friendly interface allowing easier navigation through menus and ease of adding beneficiaries without customers having to access their online banking platform as was the case before.

The application also allows customers to send money to contacts directly from their phonebooks, drastically reducing the chances of sending money to the wrong recipient, something that has been a pain point for many mobile money users.
