Zimswitch Digital Connect Symposium Kicks Off in Nyanga

The Zimswitch Digital Connect Symposium, taking place at Troutbeck Resort in Nyanga from September 2-4, 2025, has ignited a buzz in the digital payments sector of Zimbabwe. This year's theme, "Unlocking a Bolder Digital Economy for Zimbabwe", promises insightful discussions and strategic plans for the future of digital payments in the country.

The main event day falls on Wednesday, with an opening address from Zimswitch CEO Zabron Chilakalaka and a keynote from RBZ's Amon Chitsva. The symposium brings together regulators, banks, fintechs, and payments players to discuss the evolution of Zimbabwe's digital economy.

Fintech-banking partnerships are at the heart of the symposium's agenda, with banks, mobile money services, and fintechs collaborating during the discussions. The symposium addresses the balance between compliance and innovation, a key aspect of RBZ's policy hints.

One of the highlights of the symposium is an industry panel debate on the meaning of a "bolder digital economy". While the representatives from TN Cybertech, NBS, NMB, and CABS participating in this panel are not publicly specified, their insights are eagerly anticipated.

The symposium also delves into digital ID and KYC requirements, a critical aspect of the digital economy. Mobile money interoperability is another focus point, with potential for new regulations related to digital payments being a topic of discussion.

Later sessions will focus on digital identity, KYC, and action design, providing a comprehensive look at the future of digital payments in Zimbabwe. Journalists will ask questions about these topics, including the future of Zimbabwe's digital payments ecosystem, interoperability, digital identity, and KYC.

The outcomes of this symposium are significant, given that Zimswitch runs the switching infrastructure behind much of Zimbabwe's payments system. The symposium's highlights and stories that matter most to the readers will be shared, offering valuable insights into the digital payments landscape in Zimbabwe.

Stay tuned for updates from the Zimswitch Digital Connect Symposium. The future of digital payments in Zimbabwe is being mapped out, and we're excited to be a part of the journey.
