What is RTGS and why do banks need it?

RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) is a funds transfer system where money moves from one bank to another in real-time and on a gross basis (transaction by transaction). Banks in Tanzania need RTGS integration to process high-value interbank transfers instantly, comply with Bank of Tanzania regulations, and reduce settlement risk.

How long does RTGS integration take?

RTGS integration typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on your existing infrastructure. This includes requirements analysis, development, testing in BOT sandbox environment, and production deployment with staff training.

What MT message types does ZIMA support?

ZIMA Solutions supports all standard SWIFT MT message types used in RTGS including MT103 (Customer Credit Transfer), MT202 (Bank-to-Bank Transfer), MT900/910 (Confirmation of Debit/Credit), and MT950 (Statement Message). We also provide MT-MX conversion for ISO 20022 compliance.
