Banks target Zim diaspora

Financial services group Old Mutual (OM) Zimbabwe has appointed an agent to help sell group products such as mortgages to Zimbabweans living in the United Kingdom as well as help them invest back home.

In a statement, Afro-Global Marketing UK said they had been appointed to represent OM Zimbabwe, CABS and Stanbic Bank in a development expected to help facilitate Diaspora access to financial instruments and other investments back in Zimbabwe.

“Zimbabweans in the UK will play a key role in rebuilding Zimbabwe and investing back home is only the first step,” said Shane Manjelo, the managing director of Afro-Global Marketing.
