Taifa Chat · for people
Chat. Pay. Shop.
The social wallet for Africa. Send money to any contact, split a bill with the table, and shop Taifa Mall — all paid for in Bobs, the balance that lives in your chat.
Coming soon to iOS and Android.
What you can do
Money that lives in the conversation
No separate app, no copying account numbers, no waiting until you get home to settle up.
Send money peer to peer
Transfer to any contact as easily as sending a message, with the amount confirmed before it leaves your wallet.
Split any bill
Divide a bill evenly or set custom amounts per person, then send everyone their share as a request.
Request what you’re owed
Ask for money in the thread where the conversation happened, so nobody has to be chased separately.
Hold a Bobs balance
Top up from mobile money or your bank and keep a Bobs balance ready for whatever comes up next.
Shop Taifa Mall
Browse sellers inside the app and check out with the Bobs you already hold — no card, no redirect.
Cash out anytime
Move funds straight to your mobile money wallet or bank account whenever you need them somewhere else.
The wallet
Your balance, in Bobs.
Bobs are what your Taifa Chat balance is held in. Top up once and the same balance covers a split with friends, a request you owe, or a checkout in Taifa Mall.
- Top up from mobile money or your bank
- Send, split and request in Bobs
- Spend the same balance in Taifa Mall
- Cash out to mobile money whenever you like
Taifa Mall
A marketplace inside the chat.
Taifa Mall puts sellers where the conversation already is. Find something, share it with a friend, and pay for it with the Bobs in your wallet — without opening another app.
- Browse sellers without leaving the chat
- Check out with your Bobs balance
- Share an item into a conversation
- Track orders in the same thread
