The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Holdings Limited (“ZSE Holdings”) successfully integrated with the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) network, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing digital transformation.

The SWIFT network is a globally recognized standard for secure messaging. The integration enables ZSE Holdings and its subsidiaries to securely and efficiently exchange financial messages with local and international institutions, such as custodians, settlement banks, brokers, and depositories.

Following the upgrade, the Business Identifier Code (BIC) for ZSE Holdings has been changed from XZIMZWHI to XZIMZWHA and is now live on the SWIFT network.

The ZSE Holdings and its subsidiaries will be identified on the SWIFT network as follows:

The connection to the SWIFT network unlocks a range of benefits for the market, which include:

• Faster and more secure settlement of trades

• Improved connectivity with global financial players

• Reduced operational risk through standardised messaging

• Increased transparency and compliance in line with international best practices

The integration will directly benefit both local and foreign investors by enhancing the safety and speed in our capital markets, and most importantly, strengthening our operational efficiency.

For and on behalf of ZSE Holdings Limited
