Dar es Salaam — UBA
Bank Tanzania customers can now make payments to over
600 government
agencies, thanks to the lender's integration into the Government
e-Payment Gateway (GePG).
The system allows the bank's customers to make tax and non-tax payments required by the government.
"It has always been
our aspiration to support government initiatives of which efficient
means of revenue collection through the unique digital expertise of the
bank is a key component.
"We are glad and
grateful to TRA (Tanzania Revenue Authority) and the ministry of Finance
for offering us this opportunity of serving the nation," said the UBA
head of public sector, Mr Dominick Timothy.
The GePG was
adopted in 2016 in a deliberate move by the government to improve
revenue collections across its institutions, ministries, departments and
agencies.
The initiative has effectively plugged revenue leakages that used to cause a massive loss of the government's revenues.
