PayNow

Paynow is Zimbabwe's leading online payments platform, designed to simplify electronic transactions for both consumers and businesses. The platform allows users to pay for internet, airtime, and other services with ease, supporting popular providers like Econet, NetOne, Telecel, Africom, TelOne, uMAX, and Powertel. One of its standout features is the single-contract system, which enables merchants to accept multiple payment methods, including cards and mobile money, without needing separate agreements for each method. Security and consumer protection are central to Paynow's design. All customer and transaction data are encrypted, and the platform employs advanced fraud detection technology to safeguard users. Additionally, the Escrow facility provides an extra layer of trust for e-commerce transactions, helping to mediate disputes and ensure secure payments. This feature is particularly useful for businesses engaging in B2B transactions or selling goods online. Paynow also prioritizes speed and affordability. Payments are settled directly into local bank accounts without unnecessary delays, and there are no setup or standing fees—merchants simply pay a low transaction-based charge.
