Where we are today
Simba Money LLC is a financial technology company, not a bank.
The U.S. platform is in development. We are seeking banking, payments, university and specialist service partners. We are not opening U.S. accounts, accepting deposits, issuing cards, extending credit, transmitting consumer funds or selling insurance through this website.
No U.S. banking partner, issuing bank or deposit insurance arrangement is announced here. We make no present claim of FDIC coverage for the proposed platform.
The intended operating model
We intend to build a student-focused technology and service experience around capabilities delivered by appropriately authorized providers. Partner selection and contractual responsibilities have not been finalized.
Before launch, the offering will need clear provider identification, product terms, eligibility, fees, complaint routes and disclosures appropriate to each service. Partner involvement does not remove Simba Money's own applicable responsibilities.
- Identity verification, screening and eligibility requirements agreed with providers.
- Defined responsibilities for fraud prevention, transaction monitoring and escalations.
- Accurate descriptions of account, card, payment and insurance products.
- Appropriate handling of student information and consent.
A focused partner review
We welcome due diligence discussions with prospective partners. The review should cover corporate structure, ownership, proposed activities, jurisdictions, product flows, risk responsibilities, customer support, technology and data handling.
Requirements will be documented as the program develops. This website is an introduction, not a substitute for corporate documentation, regulatory analysis or a completed compliance review.
Start a due diligence conversationOur Tanzania background
Simba Money Tanzania and the broader Simba Group provide the background to our U.S. initiative. The Tanzania business and the proposed U.S. program operate in different jurisdictions.
The Bank of Tanzania's 2025 annual report lists Simba Money Tanzania Limited among non-bank payment system providers. That listing is Tanzania-specific and does not establish authority to offer U.S. banking services.
