The new service, prominently promoted in a recent announcement on the company’s official social media platform, offers a user-friendly and secure way to send money, check account balances, buy airtime, and pay bills all within a familiar messaging interface.
To access the service, users simply need to send “Hi” to the number 0780 734 712 via WhatsApp. From there, they are guided through a series of automated steps to authenticate their account and begin transacting. The interaction is smooth and intuitive, designed to meet the needs of both tech-savvy users and those newer to digital banking.
This seamless approach eliminates the need to download an additional app or visit a physical branch, allowing users to transact anytime, anywhere, with just a few taps on their smartphones.
InnBucks’ WhatsApp Banking service comes at a time when Zimbabweans are increasingly seeking more efficient and accessible financial services. With mobile penetration at an all-time high and WhatsApp being the most widely used communication tool in the country, the integration of banking functions into the app is seen as a strategic move toward greater financial inclusion.
Making security a top priority, each session on the platform begins with a security token that verifies the user’s identity and ensures safe access to the banking features. The platform has also implemented encryption and privacy measures consistent with global standards to prevent fraud and unauthorized access.
By leveraging widely adopted technology and focusing on user-centric solutions, the company has potentially positioned itself as a forward-thinking player in financial innovation.
