Western Union, Zoona, Chipper Cash Pioneer Global Money Transfers in Zambia

A significant stride in African FinTech has been made as Western Union, in collaboration with Zoona and Chipper Cash, officially launches international money transfer services directly within the Chipper Cash app. This strategic integration is set to revolutionize how customers in Zambia send and receive money across borders, offering unparalleled convenience and catering to their evolving financial needs. The move empowers Zambian users with seamless access to global remittances, marking a pivotal moment for digital financial solutions in the region.

Unleashing Global Connectivity for Zambian Consumers

This ground-breaking initiative combines the strengths of three key players to forge a robust international money transfer ecosystem. Zoona, a well-established African FinTech entity acquired by Chipper Cash in 2022, already serves an impressive 5 million customers across the continent, contributing a deep understanding of the local market and customer base. Integrating Western Union’s vast global reach, spanning over 200 countries and territories, alongside its 175 years of expertise in secure international money movement, amplifies the service offering within the Chipper Cash application. Mohamed Touhami el Ouazzani, Western Union’s Regional Vice President for Africa, highlighted the transformative potential, stating, “Zambia’s digitally savvy population of over 20 million is driving a remarkable shift toward mobile-first financial solutions. Integrating our international money transfer services in the Chipper Cash app means customers can transfer funds across our global network – reliably and with ease. I am delighted then that, together, we are expanding the possibilities for Zambians to connect, transact and thrive.” This collaboration directly addresses the demand for accessible, reliable, and efficient cross-border payment solutions among Zambia’s increasingly digital-first populace.

The partnership underscores a shared vision to enhance financial inclusion and simplify global transactions for Zambians. By leveraging the Chipper Cash app, users can now effortlessly facilitate international remittances, benefiting from Western Union’s extensive network and Zoona’s established presence. This synergy not only simplifies the process of sending and receiving funds but also empowers individuals and businesses to engage more actively with the global economy, fostering economic growth and personal prosperity throughout Zambia.
