√ CABS Bank Launches WhatsApp Banking in Zimbabwe

CABS Bank Launches WhatsApp Banking on 0784227227

This article will let you know the requirements, how to use or what to expect from the CABS-WhatsApp Banking service.

The uniqueness of the number that was used by CABS (Central Africa Building Society) is that it has many 227s same as the *227# on its USSD platform.

CABS Bank has introduced WhatsApp Banking, a service that its customers can use to access various banking services on WhatsApp. Since WhatsApp is the most used app in Zimbabwe, this service serves to give CABS Bank a wider reach of its banking services to a lot of its clients.

Imagine checking your bank balance, performing transactions, buying airtime and transferring money on WhatsApp instead of doing it on CABS bank’s standalone app. By using WhatsApp Banking, CABS Bank’s customers forgo the use of those costly data bundles to access CABS Bank’s banking services on its standalone app since now they can access the same banking services with cheap WhatsApp bundles on WhatsApp.

Requirements

To activate the service, you need to have the following items: -

CABS Account number
CABS bank card number (You will be asked the last 4 digits)
Your national ID number e.g 12-345678-A90
Your CABS-connected cellphone number (CABS Registered Number)
WhatsApp data bundles

How to use CABS WhatsApp Banking

To start using this WhatsApp banking service, it’s pretty much like initiating a chat conversation with your friend on WhatsApp. You first save the CABS Bank WhatsApp number 0777 227 227, send “Hi” and then start to communicate with a virtual assistant (bot), which will effortlessly and easily take you through everything that you want to do.

For those concerned with privacy and security of accessing these banking services on WhatsApp, they should rest easily because the end-to-end encryption afforded by WhatsApp is quite secure and you won't submit your PIN in the chat but in a browser pop-up.
