Accept Zimswitch card payments in Zimbabwe
Take the local bank cards nearly every account holder already has.
Rolling out as Lango expands — EcoCash is live first.
The national card, accepted online
Zimswitch links the country’s banks, and most Zimbabwean bank cards ride on it. Accepting Zimswitch lets customers pay you online with the debit card already in their wallet — no international scheme required, no wallet top-up first.
One checkout, one settlement
Zimswitch card payments run through the same Lango checkout and API as mobile money, and settle to your bank in the same advice. Refunds move in the open through the same ledger, so a card refund reconciles as cleanly as the sale did.
Questions
Zimswitch payments, answered
What is a Zimswitch payment?
Zimswitch is Zimbabwe’s national payment switch that connects local banks. Accepting Zimswitch means taking the local debit and credit cards issued by Zimbabwean banks, online or at the counter.
Can I accept Zimswitch cards and mobile money together?
Yes. Lango presents cards and wallets side by side at checkout, and every payment settles together to your bank with one itemised advice.
Are refunds supported on Zimswitch payments?
Yes — refund from the dashboard or the API. The books move in reverse in the open, and the customer is told exactly what to expect back and when.
