ACI Worldwide announced the extension of its long-standing partnership with UBX Tanzania Limited. The extended partnership marks a significant milestone in a relationship that spans nearly two decades and is focused on strengthening infrastructure resilience, enhancing scalability and enabling innovation to support Tanzania?s rapidly evolving digital economy. UBX currently powers the core payments infrastructure for 18 banks in Tanzania, supporting a nationwide network of over 250 ATMs and processing more than 1.3 million transactions monthly.

Through this extended collaboration, UBX is positioned to accelerate the onboarding of new financial institutions and is projected to nearly double its payment-processing capacity over the next five years. Built on an active, high-availability infrastructure across two certified PCI-compliant data centers in Tanzania, the platform strengthens resilience and reduces service disruption and operational risk. Under the extended partnership, UBX can now serve merchants directly, expanding its market reach and service portfolio while streamlining operations and delivering significant savings in cost, time, and effort.

The platform also enables UBX to launch new value-added services, such as digital wallets, supporting innovation across Tanzania?s growing fintech ecosystem. Designed to meet global and local regulatory standards, the platform secures transactions and helps UBX navigate evolving regulatory complexity without the burden of infrastructure management.
