Zimpost Partners with Satewave to Offer Smartphones on Flexible Credit in Zimbabwe
This collaboration with Satewave marks a significant step toward realizing Vision 2030, ensuring that every Zimbabwean can connect, transact, and thrive in a digital economy.
In a bold move to bridge the digital divide and enhance nationwide mobile accessibility, Zimpost has entered into a landmark partnership with Satewave Technologies, making it the first-ever postal and courier service in Zimbabwe to sell ZTE mobile phones on a flexible, credit-based model.
Under this new initiative, customers can walk away with a ZTE smartphone by simply paying a 25% deposit and then $5 weekly installments. With no strict bank requirements, the programme is designed to be inclusive—even for those in the informal sector.
“This initiative speaks directly to the Government’s call for affordable and inclusive digital access. We are making sure that access to mobile devices is no longer a privilege, but a right—regardless of income bracket.”
– Mr Maxwell Chitendeni, Postmaster General, Zimpost
Through this model, customers who can prove their mobile wallet activity—even through small but consistent transactions—can qualify instantly. The Know Your Customer process is simple, quick, and inclusive, with the aim of supporting micro-entrepreneurs, vendors, and rural citizens who often face challenges accessing traditional credit.
This collaboration with Satewave marks a significant step toward realizing Vision 2030, ensuring that every Zimbabwean can connect, transact, and thrive in a digital economy.
