Where the HaloPesa fee steps up
The tariff is banded, so the fee jumps at these amounts rather than rising smoothly. Each row states the last amount charged the lower fee.
| Above | Fee | Increase |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000,000 TZS | 1,750 → 3,000 TZS | +1,250 TZS |
| 799,999 TZS | 1,400 → 1,750 TZS | +350 TZS |
| 399,999 TZS | 950 → 1,200 TZS | +250 TZS |
The largest single jump is at 1,000,000 TZS, where the fee rises from 1,750 to 3,000 TZS — an increase of 1,250 TZS for the next shilling. Splitting a transfer across two bands is not always cheaper, because each transfer carries its own charge; work the alternative through before splitting.
