Convert USDT and USDC to TZS, and TZS to stablecoins
JET quotes both directions on every pair: buy the stablecoin with TZS (on-ramp) or sell it for TZS and withdraw to a bank account (off-ramp). Routing compares several liquidity providers on every conversion, so the rate is the best available at the time, not a single broker's spread.

How TZS on- and off-ramps work on JET
- Pay in TZS. Send TZS by local bank transfer or mobile money. Each pay-in is matched to your account automatically.
- Convert. JET converts at the best available rate and credits USDT, USDC or another supported stablecoin to your JET account or to your own wallet, usually within minutes.
- Pay out or hold. Hold the stablecoins, send them on, or reverse the route: sell USDT or USDC for TZS and pay out to a local bank account or mobile money wallet the same business day.
Across Africa JET pays out to local bank accounts and, in 14 markets, straight to mobile money wallets, so recipients without a bank account are reached too.
