Zimbabwe operates a multi-currency economy where USD is the primary commercial currency following hyperinflation that rendered the original ZWL worthless. CBZ Bank, FBC Bank, Standard Chartered Zimbabwe, and Stanbic Zimbabwe are the primary SWIFT correspondents. RBZ introduced the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency in 2024 backed by gold reserves. International wires are predominantly USD-denominated, routing through South African or UK correspondent banks.
