My team and I have finally completed our technical integration with ZB bank in Zimbabwe to enable customers In diaspora (and in country) to pay their school fees in real time. Not only do we enable people to pay their school fees in a safe and quick way, we have also provided a way for the school and student to earn food vouchers for every payment made. Vouchers are instantly issued by our system and redeemable in any GAIN Cash & Carry store. Covering over 2000 schools the journey to get us here has been really interesting and rewarding. Something I intend to blog about more in the future.
A little excerpt from our CEO
If you look at the knowledge, experience & appetite for innovative problem solving in Africa & in the diaspora, there are many reasons to be excited! With the right collaboration, we can transform banking & payments in Africa, and use contemporary technology to elevate not just individuals and institutions to the inclusive financial growth the continent as a whole urgently needs
I am proud to have led the team that made this a reality. Tech innovation like this has a real impact on peoples lives and its great to hear genuine thanks from parents and the schools for making this happen. This is only the beginning we have so much more planned.
