WHAT OUR STAKEHOLDERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE MFSB & WFSB

We appreciate the companionship and support of all our readers, subscribers and partners on a journey full of exciting possibilities and look forward to your continued support in future years as we fulfill our destiny of becoming the premier source of financial sector intelligence. Here is what some of our stakeholders have to say about the MFSB.
Please click the company’s name in green to visit their website.

“Over the years MFSB has been a reputable and valuable source of information on the financial landscape in Zimbabwe. I look forward to each monthly publication as at a glance I can analyse the developments in the industry. MSFB has been instrumental in breaking down all the players in the financial ecosystem and most importantly the publication has highlighted the role that Microfinance Institutions play in the financial inclusion mandate. Access to finance is a catalyst to economic growth and MFSB provides a platform for information sharing.”

Virginia Sibanda
CEO – Virl Rural & Social Financial Services

“The MFSB provides a candid summary of key financial sector developments. It indeed does and has helped in providing insights that help inform decision making.”

Lloyd Borerwe
CEO – Microcred Zimbabwe

“I first read the MFSB in 2013. Then, I was engaged as Marketing Manager by a banking institution and I was immediately impressed by the detailed coverage and insights on pertinent developments in the financial services sector. The bulletin proved a useful reference point in my work. To date, I continue to refer to the Bulletin and am very pleased with the introduction and focus on the Microfinance sector, a key sector in enhancing financial inclusion which is our passion and thrust as Musoni Services.”

Ruth Verah
Regional Manager – Musoni Services

“The WFSB and MFSB provide great updates on developments in the financial services industry. The publications are well researched, factual, consistent, provided on time and provided in a format that is easy to read and follow. I enjoy reading the publications and cannot afford to miss your email updates. Keep up the great work!”

Allen Musadziruma
PR Manager – Deposit Protection Corporation

“Information plays a very important role to any business organization as it guides in the decision-making process. The MFSB has been very useful in providing an accurate summary of key developments in the financial services which would have otherwise been missed and has become a very reliable source of relevant information. One unique feature of the bulletin is that it provides factual data which is not news-driven, thereby separating the truth from rumour-driven information, which is more prevalent in society.”

Tamirira Rusheche
MD – Microhub Financial Services

“The Bulletin has done well in reporting about FSSL activities. However being a new partnership, there are areas that may be improved so as to strengthen the relationship: The Bulletin may dedicate space for all teams to feature their line-ups which includes names of players so that all clubs may look forward to reading and circulating it. We also propose that the executive highlight future plans and activities lined up so that we may build hype and excitement where potential sponsors may be interested.”

Emmanuel Tapera
Secretary General – Financial Services Soccer League

“I have found the MFSB magazine to be very insightful. Touching on all matter concerning finance across Zimbabwe, it is rich with breaking corporate and individual finance topics that affect every citizen in the country. Skyburg Systems is happy to mention how MFSB has given us exposure to new markets and a platform to profile us to network with organizations whom we were indirectly affiliated.”

Sifiso Mtetwa
Director – Skyburg Systems
