Customers can make the money transfers through the WorldRemit app or website.

WorldRemit head of Southern Africa Pardon Mujakachi said: “The number of transactions sent by Zimbabweans through WorldRemit’s cash pick up service is growing at more than 20% per month, as the diaspora continue to invest in their local economy and support their family and friends back home.

“We are delighted to be partnering with BancABC, a part of Atlas Mara and a leading financial institution across the region. The partnership will build on WorldRemit’s rapid expansion in Zimbabwe as we continue to scale our network of partners across the country.”
