Mukuru launches drive-thru money transfer services in Harare

HARARE – Southern Africa-focused fintech Mukuru has launched a drive-thru service for domestic and international money transfers in Zimbabwe’s capital Harare, the first of its kind in the region.

Mukuru country manager for Zimbabwe, Marc Carrie-Wilson said the new drive-thru branch in Harare’s Chisipite suburb aimed to enhance the fintech’s promise of making financial services more accessible to people across Zimbabwe.

“Safety remains a top priority for us, and the drive-thru idea proved to be the safest and most convenient option for our customers,” Carrie-Wilson said.

The drive-thru is one of the fintech’s newest locations in Zimbabwe, joining nine other sites which launched in February.

Carrie-Wilson said the drive-thru would open daily from 7am (0500 GMT) to 7pm (including public holidays) “and comes with a ‘walk-in’ option for customers who wish to register or visit the location on foot.”

Mukuru also formed a partnership with Bereka to deliver money transfers directly to customers across Zimbabwe, Carrie-Wilson said.
