# Taran App

> Your easy bridge from mobile money to digital currency

Taran App is a digital money exchange service that converts mobile money to stablecoins and back. It serves individuals and small businesses across parts of East Africa and the Horn of Africa.

Taran App is a digital money exchange service that lets individuals and small businesses convert local mobile money balances into stablecoins and back again. It focuses on cross-border and on-ramp and off-ramp needs across parts of the Horn of Africa and East Africa, targeting users who rely on mobile wallets for everyday payments rather than traditional bank accounts.

The service works through a guided flow: a user creates an account and completes identity verification, selects a swap direction between a local mobile money provider and a supported stablecoin, enters transaction details such as amount, then confirms and sends. Coverage spans several countries, each tied to locally used mobile money systems, and the platform positions itself as regulated and operating without holding custody of user funds during a swap. It is available through a website and mobile apps.

Core offerings include mobile money to stablecoin swaps and cash-outs, with support for a range of mobile wallets across its covered markets. The service is used by freelancers, remittance recipients, and small businesses that need to move value between local currency and stablecoins for savings, payments, or cross-border transfers. It operates as part of a wider digital asset company that also facilitates swaps of stablecoins across different blockchains.
