British Pound to Tanzanian Shilling exchange rate history
What moves the Tanzanian Shilling rate
The Tanzanian shilling is on a managed float under the Bank of Tanzania. Gold, tourism, agricultural exports (cashews, coffee) and the import bill — including used vehicles from Japan — shape the rate.
About the British Pound
The British Pound (GBP, £) is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the primary currency in which the UK-based African diaspora earns and sends. Issued by the Bank of England, the Pound is subdivided into 100 pence. The UK is one of the three largest remittance source markets for Africa, channelling several billion pounds a year primarily to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. After the 2016 Brexit referendum the GBP traded substantially weaker against both USD and EUR, which compressed remittance values when measured in either dollars or recipient local currency. Mobile-first remitters serving the UK-Africa route — Sendwave, LemFi, TapTap Send, Lemonade Finance — typically post a GBP rate within 0.5%–2% of interbank, with the fee structure varying by amount and destination.
About the Tanzanian Shilling
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, TSh) is the official currency of Tanzania, issued by the Bank of Tanzania and notionally subdivided into 100 cents — though the cent denomination is no longer in circulation. Tanzania operates a managed-float regime, and the Shilling has been comparatively stable against the USD over the 2020s relative to peers, partly because of consistent gold-export revenue and a current-account balance closer to neutral. M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas (ex Tigo Pesa) and Airtel Money dominate the in-country mobile-money landscape, and the Bank of Tanzania has been progressive in enabling cross-border M-Pesa Global transfers to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and beyond. Tanzania scrapped the 2021 transfer levy on P2P sends from 1 October 2022 but kept a banded withdrawal levy on cash-out at a mobile-money agent, from TZS 10 up to a maximum of TZS 2,000.
How to send British Pound to Tanzania
