How to send money from South Africa to Tanzania

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Tanzania, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is WorldRemit.

WorldRemit was the cheapest on 16 of the 16 days it quoted R4,300 transfers to Tanzania.

On a 4,300 ZAR transfer, WorldRemit delivers the most TZS.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best ZAR/TZS rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 2 ways to pay, including bank transfer and debit card.

PayShap is the quickest way to fund your transfer, though it caps at R50,000 a transaction.

Above that you're on a normal EFT, which is same-day or next-day rather than instant.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need your ID and proof of address.

Anything beyond your yearly allowance needs a tax number and clearance from SARS first, so check which side of that line you're on.

Compare amounts

How much ZAR are you sending to Tanzania?

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send R 4 300, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what R 4 300 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more TZS per ZAR than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of TZS on every transfer from South Africa.

Right now, WorldRemit pays 667,373.09 TZS on 4,300 ZAR, which is 15,125.07 TZS less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 678,967.48 TZS.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to Tanzania.

We've tracked 154 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 7 amounts over the past month.

Never the cheapest

Based on 154 comparisons across 7 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today WorldRemit is the cheapest and gets you the most TZS, and it was also the cheapest in 58% of the 93 comparisons it appeared in over the past month.

It's a good pick for both one-off and regular transfers to Tanzania.

PayPal App (P2P Transfer) (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 42% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to Tanzania.

Ways to send money from South Africa to Tanzania

4 companies send money from South Africa to Tanzania.

Frequent transfers from South Africa

Online transfers

Apps and online services are best for recurring transfers to Tanzania.

WorldRemit is the cheapest option.

It will get you 667,373.09 TZS on a R4,300 transfer.

For fast transfers, WorldRemit is a good option, it will deliver TZS in minutes - 2 days.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 16 of the 16 days it quoted.

Most companies will let you fund your transfer by EFT, and will ask for your FICA details.

Emigration and large transfers

Currency brokers

Currency brokers are great for large transfers from South Africa to Tanzania.

They have no fees and add a markup on top of ZAR/TZS rate.

I suggest getting a few ZAR/TZS quotes from your bank and Regency FX and picking the best one.

Also, don’t forget about the R2 million limits on transfers from South Africa (more below).

For business payments abroad

Global accounts

Global accounts like Airwallex, Veem or Payoneer help South African businesses make recurring payments to suppliers and contractors in Tanzania.

Consider this when sending ZAR to Tanzania

South African exchange control dictates how much you can move and which paperwork you need. The exchange-rate margin then decides whether a bank, an online money transfer company or a forex specialist is cheaper.

Compare ZAR/TZS transfer options

For a ZAR 4,300 transfer to Tanzania, the current best options are:

The cheapest option is WorldRemit, funded by debit card with mobile money for the payout. Your recipient gets 667,373.09 TZS, which is 7.71% more than the next best option.

The fastest option is PayPal App (P2P Transfer), funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 615,886.34 TZS in minutes.

R2 million allowance

South African residents aged 18 or older can use the single discretionary allowance to transfer up to R2 million per calendar year for legal purposes abroad without a SARS tax-compliance PIN.

A further foreign capital allowance of up to R10 million is available with an Approval International Transfer PIN from SARS.

Amounts above the allowances need specific approval through an authorised dealer.

The allowances cover more than money transfers.

Foreign card spending and other qualifying use can reduce what remains, so check your year-to-date total before making payments.

The SARB Financial Surveillance guidance explains how the allowances can be used.

Get the purpose code right

Every legal cross-border payment in rand passes through an authorised dealer and carries a balance-of-payments purpose code.

A bank, transfer company or forex specialist may handle the form, but you are still responsible for giving the right reason.

Keep any relevant documents on hand, such as the property sale agreement, emigration documents, tuition invoice, proof of savings, etc.

For an emigration transfer, a specialist service can be useful because the AIT paperwork matters as much as the rate.

A gift can create donations tax

For the 2026/27 tax year, a natural person can make up to R150,000 of donations each year before donations tax applies.

The donor generally pays 20% on taxable donations up to the first R30 million of cumulative taxable gifts.

Payments between spouses and reasonable maintenance payments can be exempt.

A large family transfer should be classified before sending, rather than treated as tax-free because the recipient lives abroad.

Only use authorised companies

Search the company or its FSP number in the FSCA register.

Never move a transfer to crypto or a personal account to bypass exchange control.

Keep the quote, purpose-code confirmation and proof of payment until the recipient has the money.
