The group\u2019s revenue diversification strategy is paying off, as evidenced by the exponential revenue growth in the Insurtech and the Vaya Technologies business units,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>During the period under review, EcoCash revenue contribution at 60% was 15 % lower than revenue contributions recorded in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The decline is attributed to the revenue diversification strategy that saw growth in the Insurtech and VAYA Technologies business.<\/p>\n<p>Steward Bank\u2019s contribution remained stable and is expected to continue the upward trend, on the back of the system upgrade completed in April 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Although Group revenues closed the year at $14 billion compared to $19 billion in the prior year, due to the impact of regulatory changes and the Covid-19 pandemic, this was mitigated by a rigorous cost-cutting drive.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, Shereni expects the strength and agility of the business, combined with the professionalism, resilience, and innovative foresight teams, to carry the business into the future, resplendent with digital opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The technology-driven platforms and processes offer significant advantages and continue to drive innovations and deploy them where the need is greatest.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent with that, the group has continued to take advantage of this accelerated digital thrust to come up with new products and services that better respond to the evolving needs of our customers, guaranteeing a strong business that is transforming and is well placed to deliver sustainable growth into the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe, therefore, continue to leverage our robust business model to innovate around on-demand technology platforms, creating customer convenience and maximising value for our shareholders,\u201d added Shereni.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
