Cross-Border Payments: Shopping from South Africa to Zimbabwe

For Zimbabweans living in South Africa, supporting family back home often means navigating complex remittance systems. Traditional cash transfers can be costly, slow, and vulnerable to exchange rate losses. With Remit60 Marketplace, cross‑border payments are redefined—allowing you to shop directly for groceries, appliances, and school supplies in Zimbabwe, while paying securely in South Africa.

🔑 Why Cross‑Border Payments Matter

• Diaspora support: Millions of Zimbabweans in South Africa send money or goods home every month.
