Zimbabwe to South Africa

Paying your South African suppliers from Zimbabwe.

Obtaining foreign currency through the formal banking system is the hard part, before anyone has processed a payment. Businesses end up holding US dollars, paying through intermediaries, or sending cash across the border.

Context

Why this corridor is the way it is.

Zimbabwe is the route we are asked for more than any other and the one we cannot open yet, because we do not have a licensed collection partner in the country. We would rather say that here than take a payment we cannot complete.

Pricing on this route reflects what it costs to move Zimbabwe gold into rand. As volume on the corridor grows, that cost falls, and the saving is passed through to the businesses paying on it.

Who uses it

Common in Zimbabwe.

  • Retail and FMCG
  • Fuel and logistics
  • Building supplies
  • Agricultural inputs

These are the sectors that buy from South Africa most often and on the tightest schedule. If yours is not listed, the payment works the same way.
