Read full description
The primary service offered by Z1.app is a mobile application available on Google Store and App Store. The app allows users to make instant payments, create groups to pool money with friends, and plan their financial goals. It also provides a feature to recharge mobile phones directly from the app, making it a one-stop solution for various financial needs.
In addition to these services, Z1.app respects user autonomy and privacy, including the use of social names. This indicates a commitment to inclusivity and user-friendly service. The company is also planning to introduce a feature that will allow users to issue their Z1 card through the app, which will come with 24-hour support, temporary card blocking, and the security of the Mastercard brand.

The company's focus on instant payments, group money management, and mobile recharges suggests it is targeting a younger, tech-savvy demographic that values convenience and digital solutions.
