Yas Tanzania Limited is one of the leading telecommunications companies in Tanzania, providing innovative digital, mobile, and financial services to millions of customers across the country. Formerly known as Tigo Tanzania, the company rebranded to Yas in November 2024 following its acquisition by Axian Telecom Group. With more than 13.5 million subscribers and a vast network of over 4,000 towers, including 300 modern 5G sites, Yas has positioned itself as a pioneer in delivering fast, reliable, and affordable connectivity nationwide.
Beyond communication services, Yas Tanzania plays a crucial role in digital financial inclusion through its platform, Mixx by Yas (formerly Tigo Pesa). The platform has introduced tailored products such as KilimoPesa, which provides flexible loans to farmers, and AfyaMkulima, an affordable health insurance solution for smallholder families. These innovations have already enabled the disbursement of over TSh 600 billion to more than 30,000 farmers through cooperatives, improving livelihoods and strengthening the agricultural sector.
Yas has also earned recognition for its customer-centered approach and technological leadership, winning awards as the Best Internet Service Provider and Best Mobile Network in Tanzania. By combining cutting-edge infrastructure with social impact programs, Yas Tanzania continues to empower communities, drive economic growth, and transform the nation’s digital landscape.
