EFT Corporation has appointed Farai Tigere to head up their Zimbabwean operations to drive the organisation’s strategy of fostering financial inclusion, digital transformation and economic empowerment in the region. EFTCorp provides tailored solutions that meet the needs of prevailing economic conditions and accessible tools that align with market trends to empower businesses and individuals to thrive in a reinvigorated digital economy.
Having joined EFTCorp first as Implementation Engineer, before shifting focus in 2018 to business development and solution architecture, Tigere has played a key role in Zimbabwe’s payment digitisation efforts. His extensive experience and local expertise uniquely position him to navigate Zimbabwe’s economic environment and ensure EFTCorp’s solutions remain relevant and impactful.
“The primary goal is to maintain and expand EFTCorp’s established role as a major player in Zimbabwe’s payment ecosystem, which involves deepening the company’s reach in underserved sectors and further strengthening its presence in commerce,” says Tigere. “I am excited for the new opportunities this role offers. For me personally, it represents professional growth, and for the company, it is a chance to steer the Zimbabwean arm of the business through a challenging but opportunity-rich period of business growth.”
Tigere aims to restore confidence in digital payments by delivering solutions that complement the informal sector’s needs, enable a seamless transition from cash-based and electronic transactions while driving greater accessibility of digital payment systems. “There is significant potential for payment solutions to drive financial inclusion, ensuring more Zimbabweans benefit from access to formal financial services and opportunities,” says Tigere.
The country is already moving towards mandatory POS systems and Tigere is positioning EFTCorp to be able to offer a comprehensive range of POS solutions as soon as this policy is introduced. “By tailoring these solutions to different market segments, EFTCorp will ensure that businesses are equipped to comply immediately with policy changes while benefiting from efficient payment systems,” he says.
