Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>BancABC has launched co-branded Mastercard and Zimswitch payment cards to enhance international payment systems.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, BancABC chief executive officer (CEO) Lance Mambondiani said the bank was the pioneering provider of the service in Zimbabwe. Mambondiani added:<\/p>\n

We are delighted to be the first to market with this solution. It is thanks to the collaborative partnership between Mastercard, a global financial services powerhouse and Zimswitch, our national switch. There has been a lot of work that has gone into launching this project from all the teams involved and my gratitude is to the teams that have worked tirelessly to deliver this innovation.<\/p>\n

BancABC said it will be introducing several co-branded card innovations to suit different market segments, such as the \u2018Home and Away\u2019 card, which links to both local and foreign currency accounts.<\/p>\n

The bank will also be introducing a combo card onto which up to four different currencies can be loaded.<\/p>\n

The new BancABC cards will include EMV Chip and PIN technology providing cardholders with additional peace of mind while making them more difficult to counterfeit.<\/p>\n

According to Charlton Goredema, Vice President of Country Business Development, Botswana and Zimbabwe at Mastercard, people are increasingly embracing digital payments \u2013 a trend that has accelerated due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Cyril Nyatsanza, CEO of Zimswitch, added that the provision of convenient, innovative and secure payment solutions will contribute to and encourage positive market developments on multiple fronts.<\/p>\n
