Stanbic Bank and 543 Konse Konse Launch Cardless Payment Platform – StanPay

Stanbic Bank Zambia, in collaboration with 543 Konse Konse, has officially launched StanPay, a cardless digital payment platform that allows customers to transact using only their mobile number and mobile banking PIN—eliminating the need for physical cards.

Now operational at over 500 outlets nationwide, including restaurants, toll gates, retail stores, hospitals, and filling stations, StanPay enables users to authorize payments quickly and securely by simply providing their registered number at checkout.

Speaking at the launch, Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry Hon. Chipoka Mulenga praised the innovation as a bold stride in accelerating Zambia’s digital transformation. He underscored its potential to drive financial inclusion, improve transactional efficiency, and support local enterprises.

Stanbic Bank’s Acting Chief Executive and CFO, Mizimo Chitambo Musokotwane, said the bank is committed to customer-centric digital solutions that make everyday banking simpler and safer.

Meanwhile, Kelvin Chikomo, Managing Director of cGrate Zambia Ltd—the firm behind 543 Konse Konse—highlighted how strategic partnerships like this fuel the shift towards a cashless economy, empowering merchants and consumers alike.

Head of Private and Personal Banking at Stanbic, Eunice Kabila Mundia, noted that StanPay reflects the evolving needs of customers seeking secure, cardless, and convenient payment options across sectors.

With its national rollout now complete, StanPay is poised to play a key role in expanding Zambia’s digital payments ecosystem.
