Zim Now Writer

Paul Tungwarara, a businessman, is spearheading a revolution in Zimbabwe's innovation landscape with his groundbreaking platform, Talk and Pay. This innovative application is poised to redefine e-commerce in the country, offering a seamless and inclusive experience for both consumers and businesses.

Tungwarara, also the driving force behind Prevail International and Zimbabwe's sole Cybercity in Mt Hampden, has emerged as a transformative figure in the country's e-commerce sector. Talk and Pay, already licensed to operate in Zimbabwe, is a versatile platform that combines chat, online payments, and money transfer functionalities. Users can connect seamlessly from anywhere in the world, making it a truly inclusive financial tool.

Tungwarara's vision extends beyond urban centers to rural areas, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the platform's advantages. "Going forward, no one needs to travel to town for banking and financial services," he explained. "Through Talk and Pay, we're offering agency banking services, making it a game-changer that aligns with President Emmerson Mnangagwa's vision for innovation and Vision 2030."

Talk and Pay offers a suite of features that enhance user experience and security. Voice-activated transactions allow users to make payments and place orders using voice commands, making it user-friendly. The platform's accessibility ensures that it caters to a wide audience, including those with limited access to traditional banking services. Advanced security measures protect user data and transactions, fostering trust among consumers.

Beyond its core functionalities, Talk and Pay offers a range of additional services. Users can buy airtime for their mobile numbers, purchase electricity, book flights, and even make payouts to international accounts. Tungwarara emphasized the platform's potential to generate foreign currency for Zimbabwe through these services.

By promoting the adoption of plastic money, Talk and Pay aims to boost the local economy. The platform's point-of-sale functionality allows users to make payments using their digital wallets, simplifying transactions for both consumers and businesses. This also enables Zimbabweans living abroad to support their loved ones back home by purchasing items like airtime and electricity.
