Community Swap
For Zimbabweans living in Mauritius

Send money home.
Without the fear.

Swap rupees here for EcoCash at home, member to member. The money waits safely in the middle until both sides have done their part.

Why we need this

We swap to save on fees. But someone always has to go first.

The fake screenshot

A doctored proof of payment arrives. You send your EcoCash. The rupees never existed.

The vanishing act

You pay first, as agreed. The other person receives it, goes quiet and blocks your number.

The impostor

Someone pretends to be a trusted member of the group, collects payments and disappears.

How a swap works

One swap, start to finish

Every swap is started by a member in Mauritius. Family at home never log in.

Why it's safe

Built to stop the scams we already know

Money is locked first

The EcoCash is in the safe box before anyone pays a single rupee.

Only verified members

ID and permit checked, approved by the committee. Family at home registered by name.

Bank, not screenshots

Money is released only when the seller sees it in their own bank.

Never stuck in the middle

If nobody takes an offer within a few hours, the money goes back automatically.

Fair disputes

Two committee members who are not involved review the evidence and decide.

Every swap on record

Ratings and history show who is reliable. Proven fraudsters are removed for good.

The golden ruleYour bank balance is the only proof that counts.
