How to Deposit on Exness With Tigo Pesa (TZS): Step-by-Step
- 1
Log in and open the Deposit page
Sign in to your Exness Personal Area on the website or the Exness Trader app. From the dashboard, tap Deposit to see the funding methods available to Tanzanian traders. As a Tanzanian client you are served through Exness's international entity, so the payment list is filtered to what works locally, including mobile money options.

Select Tigo Pesa and set your currency to TZS
Choose the mobile money / Tigo Pesa option from the list. Make sure the deposit currency is set to TZS so the amount matches your Tigo Pesa wallet and you avoid an extra conversion. Pick the trading account you want to fund if you hold more than one.

Enter the amount and your Tigo registered phone number

Confirm the funds land in your Exness account
After you approve the payment, return to Exness and check your account balance. Keep the Tigo Pesa SMS confirmation as a record. If the balance does not update, processing times can vary, so give it a short while and confirm the transaction status in your Personal Area before retrying.
Regulatory Notice — Tanzania
Traders in Tanzania are served under the broker's international entity rather than a Tanzania-specific license.
Confirm directly with the broker which legal entity your account agreement is with, and what protections that entity offers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exness
Why is Tigo Pesa not showing as a deposit option on my Exness account?
The methods you see depend on the country set on your Exness profile and the currency of your trading account. If Tigo Pesa is missing, confirm your profile country is Tanzania and that you have an account denominated in TZS, then refresh the Deposit page. Some methods also require your account verification to be completed first.
Do I need to verify my Exness account before depositing with Tigo Pesa?
Exness generally asks you to complete identity verification in your Personal Area to fully use your account and withdraw later. Even if a small deposit goes through, it is worth finishing verification early so your Tigo Pesa transactions and future withdrawals are not held up.
What should I do if my Tigo Pesa payment is deducted but not credited on Exness?
First check the transaction status inside your Exness Personal Area rather than immediately repeating the deposit. Keep the Tigo Pesa debit SMS, which shows the reference and amount. If the balance still does not appear after a reasonable wait, contact Exness support with that reference so they can trace the specific transfer.
Can I withdraw back to the same Tigo Pesa number I deposited from?
Brokers commonly return funds to the same method used to deposit, so withdrawals are typically routed back to your Tigo Pesa wallet in TZS. Use the same registered Tigo number, and check the withdrawal section of your Personal Area for the exact options available to your Tanzanian account.
