Rwandan Franc to Tanzanian Shilling exchange rate history
About the Rwandan Franc
The Rwandan Franc (RWF, FRw) is the official currency of Rwanda, issued by the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR). The Franc is quoted in whole units; its theoretical 100-centime subdivision is no longer in use. Rwanda runs a managed-float regime and has built a reputation for relatively predictable currency management within the EAC, supported by tight fiscal discipline and consistent multilateral financing. MTN MoMo Rwanda and Airtel Money dominate domestic mobile money, and Rwanda was an early adopter of cross-border MTN MoMo interoperability with Uganda. For diaspora flows landing in MTN MoMo Rwanda, the published RWF rate typically sits within 1%-2% of the interbank reference. Rwanda imposes no specific government levy on mobile-money transactions, leaving the all-in cost of receiving notably lower than in neighbouring Uganda or Tanzania.
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, Tigo Pesa (now branded Mixx by Yas) 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 abolished the 2021 mobile-money transfer levy on P2P sends but retains a tiered withdrawal levy capped at TZS 4,000 per cash-out at agent or ATM.
