Under the partnership, a Zimbabwean living in Zambia can send money by registering with MTN Zambia and then initiating a money transfer request through their USSD mobile money short code, then select EcoCash ZW mobile number.

“It is as easy as that and the money will reflect in the selected EcoCash ZW mobile wallet. A message of confirmation will be sent to the recipient and the sender,” said Econet Wireless in a statement today.
