How to send money from South Africa to Zimbabwe
BECOME A CALL HOME CUSTOMER
If you do not have a Call Home SIM card, you can join over 800,000 customers of the Call Home family by purchasing a starter pack at Shoprite, Checkers or from the Flash to EcoCash registration agents. Enjoy the lowest calling rates to Zimbabwe; the lowest call rates in South Africa between Call Home customers and the best deal in Mzansi by far!
CALL HOME IS POWERED BY CELL C.
REGISTER
a. Register your Call Home SIM for both EcoCash and a “Flash to EcoCash” remittance account.
b. Bring your Call Home SIM and either your Zimbabwe passport or a Zimbabwe ID plus a form of South African ID.
c. The registration for both services is done at the same time and takes about ten minutes.
d. Once the registration is complete, you will receive an SMS on your Call Home line ad-vising you that your EcoCash account is active and providing instructions on how to ac-cess it from your Call Home SIM. It works the same as in Zimbabwe but using a different network shortcode.
*OPERATED BY FLASH WITH AUTHORISED DEALER MERCANTILE BANK
REQUEST A QUOTE
a. Request a remittance quote from Mercantile Bank using a simple shortcode.
b. The quote system asks you to enter the Rand amount you wish to remit and immediately generates and sends the quote via SMS advising the amount in dollars that you will receive in your EcoCash wallet, the applicable exchange rate, the remittance fee, and a unique quote reference number.
c. You can remit as little as R50 at a time, up to R3,000 per day and up to R10,000 per month.
CASH-IN
If you are happy with the quote, you can go to any one of the several participating Flash vendors (recognized by the lime green cow branding) and give the quote reference number to the Flash ven-dor. The vendor will key the reference number into their Flash terminal and ask you for the exact quoted Rand amount. When you have given the Agent the Rand and they have processed it on the system, you will instantly receive an SMS notifying you of a successful “cash-in” to your EcoCash wallet.
SEND CASH HOME
You can now securely login to your EcoCash wallet and enjoy all the EcoCash services as EcoCash customers in Zimbabwe – with one important difference; if you wish to send cash to an EcoCash customer in Zimbabwe from your Call Home line, the transaction is FREE!
