Econet’s Digital Growth Fuels Easier Payments on Paynowtopup

Econet Wireless Zimbabwe’s latest results show more than just financial resilience — they signal a future where every Zimbabwean, no matter their location, can access fast, reliable digital services. With mobile data traffic up 36% and voice traffic up 23%, supported by massive network upgrades, Econet is laying the groundwork for greater digital inclusion. For platforms like Paynowtopup, this translates into more people being able to transact online with ease, whether through our website, WhatsApp bot, or USSD.

Infrastructure Growth That Benefits Everyone

In the past year, Econet deployed 77 new base stations, upgraded over 500 radio access sites, and rolled out 60 new 5G sites, significantly improving connectivity in cities and growth points. But the impact doesn’t stop there. Ten new base stations were also launched in remote rural areas, a major step toward bridging the digital divide and bringing previously excluded communities into the digital economy.

Thanks to these upgrades, more Zimbabweans now have reliable mobile internet — the backbone needed to access online services like airtime and ZESA top-ups, school and bill payments, and more through Paynowtopup.

What This Means for You: Fast, Flexible Payments Anytime

Whether you’re topping up Econet airtime or sending a school fee payment, better network access means faster, smoother transactions. At Paynowtopup, we’re already seeing more customers successfully completing payments using:

  • Our Website: A full-featured platform for quick top-ups and bill payments that you can access here 

  • USSD: Dial the short code *828# on any phone no data needed and you will be able to make an online payment

  • WhatsApp Bot: Chat your way through a payment via your favorite messaging app just say Hi to this number +2638644729100

These options are especially important as Econet continues to integrate its FinTech offerings (like EcoCash), giving customers more ways to fund wallets, send money, and insure what matters, all from a mobile phone.

A Growing Ecosystem That Supports Digital Lifestyles

Econet’s strong performance, with ZWG 22.2 billion in revenue and a 210% surge in mobile money transaction values, shows that Zimbabweans are embracing digital platforms. As more users come online and become familiar with transacting digitally, Paynowtopup is ready to meet them, with secure, fast, and convenient tools that support everything from school payments to daily essentials.

This growth is more than just numbers,  it’s a signal that Zimbabwe is becoming digitally connected at scale, and services like Paynowtopup are here to make that digital access practical and useful in everyday life.
