Local banking essentials

What to check before opening an account in Harare

Regulation

Banks are licensed by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, and payment service providers and mobile money operators must be registered with the RBZ under the National Payment Systems Act. Verify the licence on the RBZ's registers before holding funds with a provider, and note that deposit insurance and currency arrangements differ sharply from those in fully dollarised or single-currency markets.

Local account details

Zimbabwe has no IBAN registry entry: account numbers are bank-specific, and international transfers use the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC plus the beneficiary account number; many accounts can be held and transacted in either local currency or US dollars.

Local currency: ZWG (Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG), introduced by the RBZ in April 2024 to replace the Zimbabwe dollar; the US dollar is widely used under Zimbabwe's formal multi-currency arrangements)

Payments and transfers

The RBZ operates the national real-time gross settlement system, ZimSwitch runs the interbank switch behind ZIPIT mobile transfers that move funds between any Zimbabwean bank accounts, and EcoCash has been the dominant mobile wallet; because of past currency instability, everyday pricing and savings often take place in US dollars, and transfer capacity depends on which currency leg a payment uses.
