What MyZaka is
MyZaka is the mobile money service run by Mascom, one of Botswana's mobile networks. Mascom customers hold a wallet on the phone and use it to send money to registered and unregistered recipients, withdraw cash at agents, buy prepaid electricity and airtime, and pay bills. It also connects to bank accounts: Mascom runs bank to wallet transfers with Absa and Standard Chartered, and issues a MyZaka Visa card. Mobile money in Botswana falls under the Bank of Botswana's electronic payment services licensing regime.
