The GetBucks vision is to achieve financial inclusion in all its markets by breaking the paradigm of clients having to visit a bank branch to access services. The ultimate goal is to deliver a basket of financial products that meet most of the financial needs of customers across geographies.
Current services offered range from micro-finance loans, SME banking products and saving and money market accounts.
GetCash is a mobile money transfer platform whereby each customer’s cell-phone functions as a bank account, creating a “mobile wallet”.
GetCash is aimed at addressing liquidity constraints in Zimbabwe by removing the need for cash transactions at merchants throughout Zimbabwe. Agents stationed throughout cities in Zimbabwe enable customers to deposit cash in exchange for credit in their mobile wallets.
Services offered by GetCash include peer-to-peer services, remittances, bill and merchant payments, bulk payments and the sale of prepaid electricity vouchers.
