Our verdict
TENGO combines a mobile wallet, money transfers and a reloadable card for spending in shops and online worldwide. For people in Honduras who want phone led payments, remittances and business tools in one place, it keeps everyday money close together.

Frequently asked questions
Who can open a TENGO account?+
TENGO asks applicants to be Honduran, to be over eighteen and to hold a national identity document. The app serves as the place where identity is checked and where the profile is managed. This defines a clearly local eligibility base.
Where does TENGO send and receive money?+
TENGO transfers money to people in Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and other parts of the country using a phone number. It also receives family remittances directly to a mobile phone. The service therefore centres on movement of money within Honduras.
What does the reloadable card do?+
The reloadable card spends the wallet balance in physical shops and online stores around the world. Control happens from a mobile phone, which keeps spending linked to the available balance. It works as an extension of the wallet rather than as separate credit.
