BANKING concern, CABS has expanded its outward foreign payment services by adding five new currencies to its basket in a strategic move to enhance financial convenience and expand international payments capabilities for Zimbabweans.
The bank now supports payments in 11 international currencies, following the addition of the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and New Zealand dollar to complement the six currencies already supported, which are the Botswana pula, South African rand, British pound, US dollar, euro and Chinese yuan.
CABS’ enhanced outward foreign payment services enable businesses and individuals in Zimbabwe to make secure international transactions, from settling supplier payments, to covering payments for essential services such as university fees, medical bills, travel, accommodation and more.
This expansion enhances the country’s global connectivity and economic participation.
“Access to a broad range of international currencies is key to providing our customers with the financial flexibility and confidence they need,” CABS managing director Mehluli Mpofu said.
“By expanding our outward payment services, we are directly empowering businesses and individuals to connect, transact and thrive in the global economy with greater confidence and convenience.”
CABS has also resumed US$ payments to Mauritius, reinstating a vital payment corridor that facilitates trade and financial transactions between the two countries.
Mauritius has emerged as a key financial hub, serving as a strategic bridge between Asia and Africa, and acting as a critical node along the India-Africa and China-Africa trade corridors.
