REMITTANCES

Every Pound Counts.
Know Where It Goes.

Zimbabweans sent over $2.45 billion home in 2025, making remittances nearly 10% of GDP and the country's second-largest source of foreign currency. But fees on the UK-Zimbabwe corridor still run 5–12%, and most people have no way to compare what they're paying. ZiRA changes that — real numbers, honest comparisons, no affiliate links.

The problem we're solving

An IMF-World Bank diagnostic found that costs on the South Africa-Zimbabwe corridor remain as high as 12.7%. Cash dominance, currency instability, and limited competition keep fees stubbornly high. The G20 target is 3% by 2027 — most corridors into Zimbabwe are nowhere near that.

ZiRA gives you the information to make better decisions today. ZimX Finance is building the infrastructure to make those decisions unnecessary tomorrow — because the fees will already be fair.
