Property investment and mortgage origination platform for Zimbabwe's largest financial services group
CBZ Holdings sells residential, commercial and agro-residential property across housing developments nationwide, and finances those purchases with mortgages — historically a branch-bound, paper-driven process. The brief: one platform where anyone, including Zimbabweans in the diaspora, can find a property, check what they qualify for, and apply for a mortgage online — with CBZ controlling the full life cycle from initial inquiry to title deeds transfer.
