Built in Tanzania,
for the way Tanzania trades.
Pesalock Africa Limited is a payments and escrow company on a simple mission: make every transaction one you can trust.
Trust, made simple
Across Tanzania, commerce moves fast, over WhatsApp, in Facebook groups, between people who've never met. But speed without trust is a gamble. Too many honest traders have paid first and received nothing, or shipped goods and never been paid.
We started PesaLock to fix that at the root. Instead of asking people to simply trust strangers, we hold the money safely in the middle, released only when both sides are satisfied. Escrow, made as easy as sending a message.
From that single idea we built a full payments backbone, PesaLock Rails, and then proved it by running our own products on top of it. Today the same infrastructure powering our apps is open for any business in the country to build on.
