The country's second largest mobile phone company, Telecel has partnered with Mukuru.com to enable its mobile money transfer platform clients to instantly receive money, from South Africa, directly into their telecash mobile wallets.
This will see telecash subscribers receiving money from South Africa on their mobile phones wallet without any charges.
Apart from offering convenience to subscribers, the partnership is a great benefit to Telecel subscribers who will no longer need to queue for long periods of time at a bank or retailer to collect money sent from abroad.
The deal also enables those who live far away from urban areas to receive money sent to them without the need to travel long distances.
Provided a sender uses Mukuru and chooses the telecash collection option, the money will instantly arrive onto the recipient's telecash mobile wallet for immediate use.
The recipient can then buy airtime, pay bills or send money to anyone with a mobile phone in Zimbabwe.
The money can also be withdrawn from any telecash outlet or agent – of which there are more than 3 700 locations across the country, both in urban and rural areas.
Telecel subscribers with a telecash Gold Card can also use the card to cash out or pay for goods and services on over 5 000 ZimSwitch POS machines in various locations like shops across the country.

The South African firm also provides additional financial services such as a banking prepaid debit card and funeral cover to their clients who would otherwise not have had access to such financial services.
