HARARE - Zimbabwe's banking sector is working towards re-enabling systems that would allow international tourists to use their credit and debit cards, The Herald newspaper reported yesterday.

Bankers' Association of Zimbabwe president John Mangudya said two commercial banks that previously facilitated the system had re-engaged their international partners as they stepped up efforts to reintroduce the service.

Mangudya said the move would run concurrently with the reintroduction of local point-of-sale facilities in most retail outlets as banks promoted the use of plastic money as opposed to cash. - Sapa
